The previous code calls vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() for every device
(every device present at boot and also every hot-added device).  It
only allocates a vga_device if pdev->class is 0x0300XX.

It calls vga_arbiter_del_pci_device() for every device removal.  It
does nothing unless it finds a vga_device.

This seems symmetric and reasonable to me.  Did you observe a problem
with it?

Optimization is fine, but the most important thing here is to be clear
about what functional change this patch makes.  As I mentioned at [1], 
if this patch affects the class codes accepted, please make that clear
here.

I do not see Mario's Reviewed-by on the list.  I do see Mario's
Reviewed-by [2] for a previous version, but that version added this in
pci_notify():

  + if (pdev->class != PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA << 8)
  +   return 0;

while this version adds:

  + if ((pdev->class >> 8) != PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA)
  +   return 0;

It's OK to carry a review to future versions if there are
insignificant changes, but this is a functional change that seems
significant to me.  The first matches only 0x030000, while the second
discards the low eight bits so it matches 0x0300XX.
