Something like "od -x < /proc/bus/pci/00/03.0" (which bytes?), or is there an easier way? Perhaps this would be a good thing to include in some diagnostic output, maybe just when "debug" is set. (By the way... It occurs to me that this is just a tiny part of handling a single sub-line of a single product from a single vendor. And it is still ridiculous.

It's a "3c1556B mini-PCI". No "-5"; no "series"... Which means it's a -0. (This is an original T20, so it is not terribly new.) But the 0x99Xd test driver works anyway! How strange is that?
