[RFC PATCH 1/3] ARM: amba: pass a suitable modalias to udev

[Dave Martin]

This patch defines and imlpements a new modalias for AMBA devices:

        MODALIAS=amba:xxxxxxxx

where 'x' is a hex digit in lower case.

This enables udev to auto-load modules transparently for AMBA
devices, provided that each driver makes suitable MODULE_ALIAS()
declarations based on the supported AMBA device IDs.

Without this, drivers built as modules never get loaded, unless
they are loaded manually.
