This pci_device_id structure needs to be exported to user space to allow the hotplug and module loading systems know what module works with what hardware devices. The macroMODULE_DEVICE_TABLE accomplishes this. An example is:
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, i810_ids);
This statement creates a local variable called _ _mod_pci_device_table that points to the list ofstruct pci_device_id. Later in the kernel build process, the depmod program searches all modules for the symbol _ _mod_pci_device_table. If that symbol is found, it pulls the data out of the module and adds it to the file/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/modules.pcimap. After depmod completes, all PCI devices that are supported by modules in the kernel are listed, along with their module names, in that file. When the kernel tells the hotplug system that a new PCI device has been found, the hotplug system uses the modules.pcimap file to find the proper driver to load.
/* Define these values to match your devices */
