I can update this with the spec details (PCI Code and Assignment spec
r1.15, secs 1.1 and 1.4).

Are you seeing a problem that will be fixed by this series, i.e., a
PCI_CLASS_NOT_DEFINED_VGA device that we currently don't handle
correctly?

I think this makes sense per the spec, but there's always a risk of
breaking something, so it's nice if the change actually *fixes*
something to make that risk worthwhile.
