Right, it won't work. Now that we know what MODULE_ALIAS does, there is no
harm in doing this. I think we should do this.

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

If we prefer ACPI over DT, there is no guarantee that somebody can boot DT
kernel with ACPI kernel compilation option enabled.

If one of these are null, then the module alias will be "vfio-reset:"

Of course to make things prettier, we could use "NOT SUPPORTED" as a string
instead of NULL. then, the module alias will be vfio-reset: NOT SUPPORTED".

We could go one step further, and do.

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

and change the code below for this too.

I was planning to submit this for the next review. Still, I don't want to 
assume that acpihid is the only working option. Somebody can boot DT kernel.
