Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: Add alias to autoload backend drivers
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:51:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110624215155.GB4735@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org> (raw)
All the Xen backend drivers are assigned to a special bus type
xen-backend. This allows userspace to load the modules on request.
This patch defines xen-backend:* aliases on the modules and exports this
names through modalias and uevent.
Signed-off-by: Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>
