Here you need to handle alias for hid case I think
I'm wondering what happens when Compat or ACPI string is NULL.

MODULE_ALIAS("vfio-reset:" NULL)

Would the kernel like it? 
I'd rather create an alias only when the string is not NULL. Given
this is a macro, I believe it won't work. 
Indeed I think we should create an alias only for the supported case or
2 aliases if both are supported.
Can you think of any other way in the code to create the alias?
To be honest I did not find any elegant solution either. Personally I
would move the MODULE_ALIAS for compat/acpihid outside of
module_vfio_reset_handler macro, directly in the reset module. But maybe
someone will propose a better solution?

Best Regards

Eric
