That's not a bad idea.  Is there a way the structures could be filled so 
that code comes in at boot time and fills structures out?

Or even better, could there be an array of devices for each vendor, and 
the single vendor structure points to that list?


struct devicelist BROADCOM_devs[] {
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5700,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5701,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5702,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5703,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5704,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5702FE,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5702X,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5703X,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5704S,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5702A3,
	PCI_DEVICE_ID_TIGON3_5703A3,
	LIST_TERMINATOR};

struct pci_table VENCOR_list[] {
	.vendor		= PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM,
	.devices	= &BROADCOM_devs,
	.subvendor 	= PCI_ANY_ID
	..........

};
