You're not missing anything, but I think we should stick with explicit
mapping as only newer controllers tend to match on class id rather
than pci-id, and there's no way to know if that class-id match is for
PCS_6 or PCS_7. Hopefully newer controllers are tested with Linux and
the BIOS fixed prior to the breakage leaking into the wild.
