yes, we need something like
struct pci_device_info {
uint32_t pciid;
char brand[64];
char model[64];
} my_supported_devices[] =3D {
{ 0x12345678, "Acme", "Nutcracker 2000" }
};
which is placed in a separate ELF section so we can extract it from
the module.
except it needs to be flexible enough to support other buses than PCI
(SBUS, USB...)
