It's just my opinion, but I'm not sure this is better.

By changing the name to KBUILD_MODNAME you can no longer grep the source to
find the driver based on it's name:

$ grep -r name * | grep mousevsc
drivers/staging/hv/hv_mouse.c:  .name = "mousevsc",

Also, doesn't this change the name of the driver from "mousevsc" to "hv_mouse"?
Does anything else need modified to handle the name change or is the matching
handled strictly by the id_table?
