modprobe manpage mentions aliases, but doesn't explain the term or reference an explanation

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

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)[1]. That _needs_ to be explained!!
