From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch adds an module alias and a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to autoload the
visornic driver when an appropriate device is created by the visorbus.
Note, the correct way of fixing this is adding functionality to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c for the visorbus bus type.
