Is MODULE_ALIAS actually necessary for what is essentially a library
module?  I though MODULE_ALIAS was only needed to trigger loading a
module for specific hardware.  In this case, the module should be
autoloaded when another module needs it.  I may be misinformed though,
my module-foo is a little rusty.
