Applied, with testsuite and documentation, released as pre5. Diff below
for your convenience. Erik, if you could use "./tests/runtests -vv
02proc.sh" and tell me what's failing for you, that'd help (an unwitting
distro dependency?)

Cheers,
Rusty.

+ Modules can contain their own aliases: usually these are
+ aliases describing the devices they support, such as
+ "pci:123...". These "internal" aliases can be overridden
+ by normal "alias" keywords, but there are cases where two
+ or more modules both support the same devices, or a module
+ invalidly claims to support a device: the
+ <command>blacklist</command> keyword indicates that all of
+ a particular module's internal aliases are to be ignored.
