Possibly my last report before my holiday 8-)

On my friend's computer (Pentium 75 with SiS motherboard) the
following message was found in /proc/pci:

Bus 0 device 0 function 0
Unknown class: Silicon Integrated Systems 85C501 (rev 57)

Is this a bug in the Linux code, in the ROM-BIOS, or in the PCI
device? Independent of that, wouldn't it be wise to print the number
of the unknown class? It seems to be a good idea for unknown values
anyway.
