/* modalias support enables more hands-off userspace setup:

 * (a) environment variable lets new-style hotplug events work once system is

 *     fully running:  "modprobe $MODALIAS"

 * (b) sysfs attribute lets new-style coldplug recover from hotplug events

 *     mishandled before system is fully running:  "modprobe $(cat modalias)"
