OK, but still we have to be careful with removing/changing pcidevs file
entries. They are not consistent across the different BSDs.
If I could compile GENERIC with it, then it's ok, right?
To clarify what I meant:

For example, replacing our pcidevs the one you submitted would change 
the ID for AMDTEK AN985 from 0x0985 to 0x1985. Now if any of our drivers 
uses PCI_PRODUCT_ADMTEK_AN985 for matching devices it supports, it might 
be in trouble.
