Are you supposed to list here _every_ device to which not to bind? Is 
this feasible? Maybe take another approach and bind to the "default" 
acpi pnp driver if no specific driver found ?

+static char excluded_id_list[] =
+	"PNP0C0A," /* Battery */
+	"PNP0C0C,PNP0C0E,PNP0C0D," /* Button */
+	"PNP0C09," /* EC */
+	"PNP0C0B," /* Fan */
+	"PNP0A03," /* PCI root */
+	"PNP0C0F," /* Link device */
+	"PNP0000," /* PIC */
+	"PNP0100," /* Timer */
+	;
