Hi,
Thank you everyone for all these comments. I'll try to summarize them here:
a- the kmod information should be per-device instead of per-driver
(modalias-like)
b- there is no need to specify kmod dependencies (i.e. "uio_pci_generic"
is enough, not "uio & uio_pci_generic") since it is available

Add a new macro DRIVER_REGISTER_KMOD_DEP() that allows a driver to
declare the list of kernel modules required to run properly.
Today, most PCI drivers require uio/vfio.
