All the map files are not uses for anything these days. Ideally, depmod should just stop creating these dead files.

No, we don't even have proper modaliases for the pnp bus (/sys/bus/pnp) and the alias string for pnp in the modules have a broken and unfixable format. PNP autoloading is all handled by the acpi modaliases these days. This is the first time in years I hear anybody asking for hotplug setups of plain old pnp devices. :)
