well, the excellent Debian kernel team actually accepted this patch when
adding the backported mantis driver to their 2.6.32 kernel, so at least
Debian end users do get auto loading:

At least it's now queued for 2.6.38:
bj...@canardo:/usr/local/src/git/linux-2.6$ git shortlog
origin..media_tree/staging/for_v2.6.38 drivers/media/dvb/mantis/
Ben Hutchings (1):
[media] Mantis: Rename gpio_set_bits to mantis_gpio_set_bits
Bjørn Mork (1):
[media] Mantis: use dvb_attach to avoid double dereferencing on module
removal
David Härdeman (1):
[media] ir-core: make struct rc_dev the primary interface
Manu Abraham (1):
[media] Mantis, hopper: use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
Marko Ristola (1):
[media] Mantis: append tasklet maintenance for DVB stream delivery
Mauro Carvalho Chehab (4):
[media] rc: rename the remaining things to rc_core
[media] rc: Rename remote controller type to rc_type instead of ir_type
[media] rc: Name RC keymap tables as rc_map_table
[media] rc: use rc_map_ prefix for all rc map tables
And I will submit it to stable as soon as it's in Linus' tree, unless
someone beats me to it...
