Ah, okay. Now I understood what you're saying. X server's commit 46f55f5d, dating Jun 2006, introduced the code to use the interface /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/graphics:fb*. So I'd presume sysfs was working since that time and that we're safe enough to remove this secondary way to match PCI devices (the actual changes introduced by my patch). Therefore, if no one loudly scream now and if it's fine for you I'll keep my patch as it is (in the worst case should be pretty easy to create a hook for this on Pci.c though). Okay?
