Nnngh.. This driver doesn't have export anything useful like PCI IDs to
make autoloading easy.  Its init routine does checking of DMI tables
to make it only load on specific laptops.  (Which is actually quite
sensible).

Short of adding a script to call dmidecode to modprobe if necessary,
I can't think of a clean way of doing this.
Perhaps just making it built-in instead of modular is the best option,
at least for now in FC6 and previous.
