This patch against 2.6.23-rc6 fixes a couple drivers that do not
correctly terminate their pci_device_id lists. This results in garbage
being spewed into modules.pcimap when the module happens to not have
28 NULL bytes following the table, and/or the last PCI ID is actually
truncated from the table when calculating the modules.alias PCI aliases,
cause those unfortunate device IDs to not auto-load.
