BTW, I'm reminding about aliases mentioned by me few weeks ago (here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.0/1263.html), which could be built into appropriate modules (here in modprobe.conf format):
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias iso9660 isofs alias block-major-11 sr_mod alias char-major-21-* sg
Also note that MODULE_ALIAS_BLOCKDEV_MAJOR doesn't work up to test11, because for e.g. /dev/fd0 kernel calls modprobe with block-major-2 (in drivers/block/genhd.c?), but MODULE_ALIAS_BLOCKDEV_MAJOR(FLOPPY_MAJOR) adds "block-major-2-*" alias. (similar problem with MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR was fixes few releases ago by changing requet_module call in fs/chsr_dev.c - in 1.1414.1.23)
