what I'd like is a way to just put the strings into the BSD driver, but also so that the strings wouldn't have to be merged up to the kernel at all, maybe a patch with the strings in it might be accepted if they aren't built into the binary but I'd rather they never went near the kernel, I'm trying to think of someway to do it with macros... I don't really want to have to add the pci ids to two places, perhaps we could use an external script to take a list of pci ids from a file and create a suitable .h for Linux and BSD in the build system, then we can merge the Linux ones up to the kernel....
