No, please no.

There's a specific reason we do not have this, unlike other operating
systems.  It's because merges are a pain, and touching the "big one
file" ends up rebuilding too many things.

Read the top of the pci-ids.h file for why I do not want to see us do
this for any other type of id.  It's best to leave them where they are
used, right in the driver itself.

thanks,
