MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(isapnp, ...) does nothing

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
just found that Linux does not automatically load "ne" module for ISA PnP 
NE2000 cards (RTL8019AS). ne.c contains this:

static struct isapnp_device_id isapnp_clone_list[] __initdata = {
        {       ISAPNP_CARD_ID('A','X','E',0x2011),
                ISAPNP_VENDOR('A','X','E'), ISAPNP_FUNCTION(0x2011),
                (long) "NetGear EA201" },
        {       ISAPNP_ANY_ID, ISAPNP_ANY_ID,
                ISAPNP_VENDOR('E','D','I'), ISAPNP_FUNCTION(0x0216),
                (long) "NN NE2000" },
        {       ISAPNP_ANY_ID, ISAPNP_ANY_ID,
                ISAPNP_VENDOR('P','N','P'), ISAPNP_FUNCTION(0x80d6),
                (long) "Generic PNP" },
        { }     /* terminate list */
};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(isapnp, isapnp_clone_list);

but "modinfo ne" does not show any aliases. The ne.mod.c file produced during 
build does not contain aliases too. The problem is that 
scripts/mod/file2alias.c simply ignores isapnp.

ne.c is not the only file using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(isapnp, ...):
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/net/3c515.c
drivers/net/ne.c
drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_fspcipnp.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c
sound/oss/ad1848.c

How is (was) this supposed to work?
