It occurs to me that people would want to verify that this list does actually
work and that we gain (rather than lose) coverage from it.

A sanity test I've run on a couple of machines:

  % fetch http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids
  % pciconf -lv > /tmp/pciconflv.old
  % PCICONF_VENDOR_DATABASE=pci.ids pciconf -lv >/tmp/pciconflv.new
  % diff -u /tmp/pciconflv.old /tmp/pciconflv.new

In all cases I've seen so far, the new list yields better (more correct and up
to date) results than the exising list.  In no cases has pciconf complained
about the new list.
