    Prefix platform modalias strings with "platform:", which
    modprobe config to blacklist alias resolving if userspace
    configures it.
    
    Send uevents for all platform devices.
    
    Add MODULE_ALIAS's to: pxa2xx_pcmcia, ds1742 and pcspkr to trigger
    module autoloading by userspace.
    
      $ modinfo pcspkr
      alias:          platform:pcspkr

      $ modprobe -n -v platform:pcspkr
