Providing the information about what devices a virtual driver will

Why? This information is currently useless. What you want is that something
knows that you want this driver to be loaded.
The point is that you *don't* want those modules to be loaded. What you
want is for the kernel to know that those modules are available, and
therefore mention that drivers could be found for those devices, and
therefore udev would create the device nodes for them, even though the
kernel doesn't contain a module that drives them yet.
The kernel doesn't need to know. udev needs to know.
