As suggested by Andrew Morton and Jes Sorenson.

as compared to:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9b860b8c4bde5949b272968597d1426d53080532

I guess Andrew and I should be blamed for that. I Andrew suggested
putting the IDs in the 'right place' and I took the right place as being
the pci_ids.h file.

Can't say I agree with the recommendation, having them in pci_ids.h is
nice and clean and it allows one to go look through the list, instead
they now really become random hex values :( Brent's patch is a perfect
example of IDs being used in multiple places, ie. the qla1280 driver
and in the IOC4 driver, so the claim in that Documentation/ file doesn't
hold water.

Anyway, if this is the new rule, then I guess it's back to using the
ugly patch :(
