Why force all of the modules to be changed "by hand", and not just do
this automatically by changing the register function to include the
THIS_MODULE macro in it?  Much like the pci_register_driver() function
is implemented in include/linux/pci.h?

That makes it impossible for driver authors to get it wrong, which is
always a good sign of a correct api.
