The virtual machine monitor (QEMU) exposes the pvpanic-pci device to the guest. On guest side the module exists but currently isn't loaded automatically. So the driver fails to be probed and does not its job of handling guest panic events. Instead of requiring manual modprobe, let's include a device database using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro and let the module auto-load when the guest gets exposed with such a pvpanic-pci device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
