We already do ACPI module autoloading by MODALIAS for other things than
pnp. ACPI exports the pnp devices with modalias, but the modules do not
have a matching alias, this add them.
PNP has no MODALIAS support at all, and the current pnp-aliases would
not work for the standard modalias method, they would need to change
their format.
The plan is to replace the current pnp modprobe shell script hack in
udev, when ACPI devices load the right modules without any special
userspace mangling.
Thanks,
Kay
