[PATCH] Implement PCI ID-based Driver Autoloading

[David Nusinow]

Hello all,

   The attached patches implement PCI ID-based driver autoloading. The
drivers have to be pci-reworked. They also remove the previous autoloading
schemes, including my half-baked text file-based version and the vendor id
based heuristic.

   If a driver wants to support everything from a particular vendor, they
claim the vendor ID normally and set the device id as UINT16_MAX.

   A missing feature is if multiple chips claim the same ID. Currently it
will just load the first such driver found, but ideally there should be a
way for drivers to specify a priority or override somehow in the future.

   Comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated. If no one speaks up
I'll apply these in a week to master.
