Add a new macro DRIVER_REGISTER_KMOD_DEP() that allows a driver to
declare the list of kernel modules required to run properly.

Today, most PCI drivers require uio/vfio.

Thanks Olivier, this looks good to me.

Btw, I remember some issues with binding ixgbevf devices to
uio_pci_generic, so advertising should be carefully checked for each
driver.

+1 here. In general, uio_pci_generic will not bind to VF devices as VF devices
don't provide legacy interrupts, which is required to use uio_pci_generic. It's
not limited to just ixgbevf
