Hey David, Rusty, Quentin

Subject: [PATCH] Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.

This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx).

I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays,
and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it
bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this
introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so
it shouldn't matter too much.

(Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of
them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but
doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).
------------------------------
	
changed dmi_strmatch.substr from char * to char[79];

Changing it back to const char * would shrink an x86-64
defconfig more than 100KB.

$ size vmlinux.old vmlinux.new
    text    data     bss      dec    hex filename
11941725 1825624 1085440 14852789 e2a2b5 vmlinux.old
11921172 1730648 1085440 14737260 e0df6c vmlinux.new

modpost has changed a bit since 2008, is it's time to change it back?
