8. Obsolete functions
8. Vendor and device identifications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the future, let's avoid adding device ids to include/linux/pci_ids.h.

PCI_VENDOR_ID_xxx for vendors, and a hex constant for device ids.

Rationale:  PCI_VENDOR_ID_xxx constants are re-used, but device ids are not.
    Further, device ids are arbitrary hex numbers, normally used only in a
    single location, the pci_device_id table.
