Subject: Checking modalias supported by vmlinux

Is it currently (2.6.16.x) possible to get list of modaliases supported by
bultin drivers as opposed to modules? The feature is "nice to have" for
autodetecting mkinitrd. I.e. currently it is mostly possible to walk up
starting from root device, collect modaliases and resolve them to modules.
But if modalias is not resolved there is no obvious way to check, if driver
is builtin. Of course, it is always possible to take optimistic approach and
assume driver is just available ...
