Add support to parse mdev class id table.

When the virtio mdev bus driver is added in 5/6 it uses the same name value. I see virtio types all register this way (virtio, id_table), so I assume there's no conflict, but pci types mostly (not entirely) seem to use unique names. Is there a preference to one way or the other or it simply doesn't matter?It looks to me that those symbol were local, so it doesn't matter. But if you wish I can switch to use unique name.I don't have a strong opinion, I'm just trying to make sure we're not doing something obviously broken.
Yes, to be more safe I will switch to unique names here.

Sorry for the basic questions, I haven't played in this code. Thanks,It's really good question. My understanding is we won't have a module that can deal with all kinds of classes like CLASS_ID_ANY. So there's probably no need for the wildcard.The comment for add_wildcard() indicates future extension, so it's hard to know what we might need in the future until we do need it. The majority of modules.alias entries on my laptop (even if I exclude pci aliases) end with a wildcard. Thanks,
Yes, so I will add that for future extension. Thanks
