platform/x86: wmi: add WMI support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
The kernel provides the macro MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() where driver authors can specify their device type and their array of device_ids and thereby trigger the generation of the appropriate MODULE_ALIAS() output. This is opposed to having to specify one MODULE_ALIAS() for each device. The WMI device type is currently not supported. While using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() does increase the complexity as well as spreading out the implementation across the kernel, it does come with some benefits too; * It makes different drivers look more similar; if you can specify the array of device_ids any device type specific input to MODULE_ALIAS() will automatically be generated for you. * It helps each driver avoid keeping multiple versions of the same information in sync. That is, both the array of device_ids and the potential multitude of MODULE_ALIAS()'s. Add WMI support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() by adding info about struct wmi_device_id in devicetable-offsets.c and add a WMI entry point in file2alias.c. The type argument for MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name) is wmi.
