But note that the PCI IDs aren't that useful, because you still need
some information from gpu_description_table[] and
driver_version_table[]. This means you need to match either the PCI ID
to a known list, or match the renderer string against some known list,
like we currently do. With vendors using several PCI IDs for the same
card, matching the renderer string may be the easier approach.
(Although on the other hand matching PCI IDs could perhaps be shared
with Mesa somehow, or perhaps use something like udev hwdb
properties.)
