This is fixed by the following trivial patch, which was finally included
in kernel 2.6.38:
commit 116d588ea21cf0278a4de1e3272e9c3220a647e7

[media] Mantis, hopper: use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
use the macro to make modules auto-loadable

The best way to work around the problem until you upgrade your kernel to
2.6.38 or newer, is probably just adding mantis to /etc/modules.
