While I do agree your criticisms are fair, I think they apply to the overall system and not specifically to Marc's EISA code. I've been hoping that someone would do the infrastructure work necessary to support drivers in a pci_driver-like fashion, and I'm glad Marc has done this.
That said, tangent to your argument, I would also like to separate the PCI ids from the C source code -- but still compile the PCI id table into the .o file by default. There are certainly other uses for the PCI id table, but I think sufficient additional flexibility is afforded simply by the movement of the id table at source code level.
