Sure, that sounds fine. I was expecting lots of files to include the
mod_device_id/xyz.h files by hand, since that's what currently happens
with that mod_devicetable.h file:

  $ git grep linux/mod_devicetable.h  | wc -l
  1621

but if it turns out that 99% of those can be subsumed by just the
normal device header includes, then that's all the better.

Because what I _didn't_ want to see was some "manually fixed up 1600
files, followed by a month of build failure reports for random
configs".
