Why were the ids removed in the first place?

Because they weren't used by anything in the tree.

Also, the new PCI-ID policy is to put the defines in the driver itself, near where it is used, instead of collecting them in a single file. The goal is to minimize the number of unused PCI IDs in the tree by keeping the definition near the usage.

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/ philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Schulz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life."
