At some point we're going to make the compiled fdi files reside in a
file we can mmap read-only so it's not really going to be dirty/writable
memory. As such, I wouldn't worry too much about the size though it's
always good to make things as small and simple as possible.

Looks good to me. Please commit this and other fdi quirk files. Thanks!

Any chance we can get a pm-utils release that uses this anytime soon
btw? We'll need it for the 0.5.9 release scheduled for Dec 15 2006.
