Yeah, the current import needs to be gone over with a fine toothed
comb.  I did some sanity checking (and found some places where the
import script was getting it wrong), but the more eyes the merrier.

The separate branch was a conscious decision.  I want to keep the
quirks separate from the pm-utils code to guarantee that quirks
updates and code updates will be separate.

I have no problem with creating a separate repo for them, I just don't
know how to do that on fd.o. I think it is a good idea to give wider
commit access to the quirks -- at the very least, all the distro
pm-utils maintainers should have commit rights to the quirks.
