You might be able to distinguish names by context. I doubt interface names ever look like PCI addresses. But that's going to be a bigger change since -b will need to be updated to 'blacklist' intead of 'pci-blacklist' to prevent confusion. Or do you just want to overload '-b' and keep both long options?
