The various PCI kernel drivers export what PCI ids they export -- depmod
creates /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.pcimap with the info.  For X
drivers, there isn't a consistent way to export the information, so we
should be dropping files into /usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases with the
same format[1]

[1] Note that right now, there's just the "stock" file which is what
used to be in pcitable... there's an open bug for the X driver packages
dropping their own files here.
