Hmm, I'm not totally happy about this because not all distros have
a pnp.ids file. At least I can't find one on Fedora. I also think
that this file will not grow (as everything is PCI/AGP/<something
newer> based, so what's wrong with the static list we already have?

Also, if we need to patch the list we can always just use device
information files instead of yet another non-extensible format.

Cheers.
David
