to scripts/mod/file2alias.c as well as to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h. Will

accept patches for these files to support an ID space for Hyper-V vmbus drivers.

Yes, I will take patches for those files to implement this.

Along with those files, you also need a way to tell userspace that new
UIDS are found before the individual drivers are loaded.  Hopefully you
can do that now, but if not, it will need to be implemented.

Could you elaborate on what user level changes I will have to do.

Thanks,
