[PATCH] PCI: restore 2 missing pci ids
Somewhere between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc3, some PCI ids were apparently
removed. The ecc.c module, which is not a part of the kernel.org
tree, but
included in some distributions, fails to compile.

Why was this applied? We could apply these patches all day, and
get nothing else done. If it's not in the kernel tree, we
shouldn't be worrying about it. Let the distros patch it in.
Well, I offered the patch because I found that I suddenly needed it.
I did not know why the ids had been removed, but it looks to me like
edac is coming right along and will need the ids itself, so I sent
the patch off.
Frankly, I was surprised that the patch was so quickly accepted. I
perceive some difference of opinion on how PCI ids should be handled.
Is there a consensus on a better way to handle ids? Why were the ids
removed in the first place? THAT was worse than wasted effort.
