No, the aliases should be *in the modules*, like I said before.  If
there is any module setting which should be applied on all settings then
it belongs in the module.  Putting it in a configuration file results in
an undocumented dependency and makes modprobe run slower.  Changing the
module also means we have a patch we can send upstream and thus fix
every other distribution.
