Add a 'modalias' attribute to devices under the DAX bus so that userspace is able to dynamically load modules as needed. Normally, udev can get the modalias from 'uevent', and that is correctly set up by the DAX bus. However other tooling such as 'libndctl' for interacting with drivers/nvdimm/, and 'libdaxctl' for drivers/dax/ can also use the modalias to dynamically load modules via libkmod lookups. The 'nd' bus set up by the libnvdimm subsystem exports a modalias attribute. Imitate this to export the same for the 'dax' bus.

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.
