[Bug 1404509] Re: [precise] udev does not automatically load modules with kernel >= 3.11

[Pali]

Yes I have: coretemp.ko module which show temperature of intel core
processors. Or other intel modules like x86_pkg_temp_thermal,
intel_powerclamp, intel_rapl. Or intel module aesni-intel.ko which use
intel AES-NI instructions for optimizes AES support in kernel (e.g. for
luks/dm-crypt).

All these modules have cpu alias in module binary so without that patch
they are not automatically loaded.

Test case is easy: just start precise on those intel core processors and
check if above modules were automatically loaded.
