[Karmic] SRU: acerhdf: Limit modalias matching to supported boards

SRU Justification:

Impact: When the acerhk module is loaded on non Aspire One systems it will 
issue a warning about finding a bad/unknown BIOS version. It will not load and 
there is no bad effect, beside users getting scared.

Fix: Limit the modalias to only boardnames starting with AOA

Testcase: Booting on Aspire One still loads the module, other laptops don't see 
the warning anymore.

When all other means of communication fail, try words!
