well, I started with the same but then changed my mind.
- is it possible that in future some more information may be added? Like
vendor ID, product ID or whatever? At least in one case SCSI type is not
enough to distinguish between drivers (st vs. osst Onstream tapes).
- it makes sense to redo bus matching then; which requires some sort of
explicit ID table anyway.
Unfortunately I do not have the patch ready as yet; may be end of week.

We can go the PCMCIA way that stores string hashes; like in
Identification: manf_id: 0x0156 card_id: 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
prod_id(1): "TOSHIBA" (0xb4585a1a)
prod_id(2): "Wireless LAN Card" (0x0b537c13)
prod_id(3): "Version 01.01" (0xd27deb1a)
prod_id(4): --- (---)
strictly speaking, modalias real value is not relevant, we are going to
do "modprobe $modalias" anyway without even looking at it.
