Well, gdth.c is the only user of PCI_VENDOR_ID_VORTEX (ditto for vendor
id 0x1119). Thus, gdth_search_pci() has all the info you need.
Put all the specific entries first in the PCI table. Then for the loop
entries, use (PCI_VENDOR_ID_VORTEX,PCI_ANY_ID) for the final entry and
disambiguate in the code itself.
If/when we get more specific information, it is then trivial to plug in.
Until such time, we are no worse off than we are now.
