Yeah, that would be cool to do. 2.7 :)

Yeah, I've wanted that for a while too. Don't really know how to get
the compiler to do that though :(

Yeah, it was just a port from 2.4 which says:

struct pci_device_id {
unsigned int vendor, device;
unsigned int subvendor, subdevice;
unsigned int class, class_mask;
unsigned long driver_data;
};

We could probably change it now if you really want to. Don't know if it
will save much space though.
