The "easier" way to do this is change the registration function to add
the module owner automatically, which keeps you from having to modify
all of the individual drivers.  Look at how pci and usb do this for
their driver registration functions.  That should result in a much
smaller patch, that always works properly for everyone (there's no way
for driver to get it wrong.)
