True, there are already 2 places you need to keep in sync, you already
need to add the tagger id to include/net/dsa.h (twice). The header is
shared between taggers, the DSA core and device drivers. A third place
would indeed be a bit too much.

Actually I came to like your idea with 2 modaliases. I prepared a patch
set and I'm in the process of testing it (need to rebuild everything
with modules, which I usually skip). If it works, I'll post it as an RFC
soon.
