The reason we do this is because the class, vendor, and device ID fields in
sysfs are correct with respect to applied PCI quirks. The config data (at

Aside from that... what are you using kudzu for? You shouldn't. (it basically
is sticking around in RH/Fedora until the installer can be ported away
from it.)
