ALSA: support module on-demand loading for seq and timer
If CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS is used, assign /dev/snd/seq and /dev/snd/timer the usual static minors, and export specific module aliases to generate udev module on-demand loading instructions: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 uinput uinput c10:223 dm_mod mapper/control c10:236 snd_timer snd/timer c116:33 snd_seq snd/seq c116:1 The last two lines instruct udev to create device nodes, even when the modules are not loaded at that time. As soon as userspace accesses any of these nodes, the in-kernel module-loader will load the module, and the device can be used. The header file minor calculation needed to be simplified to make __stringify() (supports only two indirections) in the MODULE_ALIAS macro work. This is part of systemd's effort to get rid of unconditional module load instructions and needless init scripts.
