I think we will start with a small number, and a linear search once
at insertion time is good for a significant amount of quirks. We do this
for all PCI and USB devices, see drivers/usb/storage/usual-tables.c.
I would certainly not do anything more complex than this unless we
get into scalability problems with the simple approach.
