This > patch adds the alias. The patch looks fine, but if videodev is not yet loaded, will loading videodev get any devices registered? For that to happen normally some pci video bridge adapter driver is needed, and that registers at videodev module. Without modprobe.conf tricks this still is not loaded then.
