However, we share pci ids between projects as:

/*
 * A pci_device_id struct {
 *      __u32 vendor, device;
 *      __u32 subvendor, subdevice;
 *      __u32 class, class_mask;
 *      kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
 * };
 * Don't use C99 here because "class" is reserved and we want to
 * give userspace flexibility.
 */

so iterating over a table is a lot more amenable to plugging in the
common chipset identifiers.
