To be honest I'm not really interested too much in the various API
preferences ... they can be fixed up later by the people who care.
What I am interested in is whether we can get this interface to give
sufficient information to blacklist the offending motherboard if we can
identify it as the source of the problem. Since the usual culprit is
the bridge, that's why I'm doing parent vendor/device pairs. However,
better suggestions for the information that should be displayed would be
gratefully received.
