Yes, this hardware does exist; that's the reason I stumbled across this
issue at all.  Without this change, the device's PCI BARs don't get
programmed, so it isn't usable after booting the OS.

I would have greatly preferred to be able to say that a vendor ID of 0
is invalid, but can't find any documentation to back up that assertion.
Hence the patch.
