Does this also work for PCI drivers?   Say if a proprietary driver vendor
wanted to include a xorg.conf.d snippet in their driver package that
enabled use of their driver instead of relying on our builtin table
mapping PCI ids to driver names?   If so, cool, that's one less distro
patch I need to carry to update that table for them.
