** Description changed:

  also referenced manpages of `modinfo` and `insmod` don't explain what an
  alias is and give no reference to an explanation. That makes getting
  started with kernel modules overly hard for beginners and it'd just be
  one reference or half a sentence necessary to explain
+ 
+ Apparently there're even two types of aliases (built-ins in `.ko` files
+ and user defined). That _needs_ to be explained!!
