modinfo (or a tool likes it), requires more gymnastics in the actual code than
what we have.  It requires the auto-generation of extra c code that gets linked
into its own section (which implies the need for a linker script).

Not saying its a bad idea, its a pretty good one, just that its alot of work.  

We might be able to do something a bit more simple, perhaps convert the macros
to strings that we can extract with a tool?  not sure
