Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: Add alias to autoload backend drivers

All the Xen backend drivers are assigned to a special bus type
xen-backend. This allows userspace to load the modules on request.

This patch defines xen-backend:* aliases on the modules and exports this
names through modalias and uevent.
