[PATCH] PCI vendor and device strings in sysfs

Hi,

Here is a patch against 2.6.0-test1 to display PCI vendor and
device strings in sysfs.

At present, the PCI "name" attribute has a length restriction
(DEVICE_NAME_SIZE) within which it tries to accomodate the vendor
and device strings, leading to, in most cases, truncation of one
or both strings.

This patch alleviates the issue by creating the vendor_name and
device_name attributes for PCI devices.

Here is an example:

ananth@llm06:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0> cat name
Intel Corp. 82810 DC-100 CGC [Ch
ananth@llm06:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0> cat vendor_name
Intel Corp.
ananth@llm06:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0> cat device_name
82810 DC-100 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]

Thanks,
