For pccard, we don't need a global list of all things (in fact, we
don't generate one now).  We use it for generation of the id numbers
and cis strings.  That's its real value.  It automatically generates
these things and so drivers are able, with a simple macro, to define
the card, reguardless of the method needed to pick it.

So doing something like that for pccard would be hard.  I suspect that
usb is similar.
