That turns out to be quite simple:

- These are drivers for the vio bus, and the module aliases generated
  from their device ID tables have the form "vio:T<type>S<compat>".
- The vio bus can exist on PowerPC and SPARC, and they have two
  separate (but similar) implementations.
- The PowerPC implementation generates module aliases for vio devices
  but the SPARC implementation does not.

So autoloading currently only works on PowerPC.

The attached patch might fix that, though the correct fix would
presumably be to merge the two implementations.
