I briefly looked at this. 

#define MODULE_ALIAS(_alias) MODULE_INFO(alias, _alias)
#define MODULE_INFO(tag, info) __MODULE_INFO(tag, tag, info)

and it eventually becomes this

#define __MODULE_INFO(tag, name, info)                                    \
static const char __UNIQUE_ID(name)[]                                     \
   __used __attribute__((section(".modinfo"), unused, aligned(1)))         \
   = __stringify(tag) "=" info

Since the info is on the right side of the equation, I'm allowed to add some 
conditionals.

#define module_vfio_reset_handler(compat, acpihid, reset)		\
MODULE_ALIAS("vfio-reset:" acpihid? acpihid: compat);			\

This way, we'll create an alias with one of the provided strings.
