The kernel provides the macro MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() where driver authors
can specify their device type and their array of device_ids and thereby
trigger the generation of the appropriate MODULE_ALIAS() output. This is
opposed to having to specify one MODULE_ALIAS() for each device. The WMI
device type is currently not supported.
While using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() does increase the complexity as well
as spreading out the implementation across the kernel, it does come with
some benefits too;
* It makes different drivers look more similar; if you can specify the
array of device_ids any device type specific input to MODULE_ALIAS()
will automatically be generated for you.
* It helps each driver avoid keeping multiple versions of the same
information in sync. That is, both the array of device_ids and the
potential multitude of MODULE_ALIAS()'s.
Add WMI support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() by adding info about struct
wmi_device_id in devicetable-offsets.c and add a WMI entry point in
file2alias.c.
The type argument for MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name) is wmi.

What do you think about this usage of snprintf()? Now we check if there
is an error or if the printed string tried to exceeded the buffer.
Ideally 500 should be a macro or a parameter, but there isn't one
available. The number 500 comes from a few lines below in the function
do_table().
