The firmware populates the subsystem vendor and device ID for every
device on the PCH with PCI_VENDOR_ID_CIRCUITCO and
PCI_DEVICE_ID_CIRCUITCO_MINNOWBOARD, respectively. Currently I have
only made changes to pch_gbe to make use of it, but there is the
possibility of using this ID elsewhere. I don't currently have plans to
do so however. So if it is preferable, I can leave
PCI_VENDOR_ID_CIRCUITCO in pci_ids.h and use 0x0001 here for the
subsystem device ID.
