Ideally we'd want to be able to reference a bugzilla here so we have
some reference in the code to track developments. Also, can we capture
the ROM version known to cause this problem so if somebody later says
that it works we can have something to compare? The PCI firmware spec
defines the data structure. Effectively you can dump the ROM from the
device, run xxd on it and look for the "PCIR" string that defines the
start of the PCI data structure. The 2 bytes at offset 12h (where 0h is
the 'P' in "PCIR") have a revision level field.

What happens if this card, or some later user of this blacklisting, has
SKUs that don't have a ROM? Aren't we going to print this last warning
regardless of whether we found anything to load? Just shifting this
whole block down below the next couple tests is probably sufficient.
