Hi Alex,

thanks for pointing out.

Right, that would certainly be cool to have. However, the patch isn't
even applied in upstream trunk hal, let alone made it to stable distro
releases (which are regularly updated with new hal-infos). Thus I
think for the time being we should continue to add those.

I assume these entries in hal-info will work with a hal which has that
prober. It needs to be backwards compatible, otherwise we'd need to
fork hal-info, which should really be avoided.

Thanks,

Martin
