Sadly, for me, automatically extracting MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() from files
which are not compiled in C is science fiction.

Also, I need to sleep on the idea that creating an association between
device and missing driver might be useful kernel-wide. I'm not prepared
to handle the possibility where we make that happen, but it gets push
back and dropped.
