I think that this patch makes sense, as the other Sandy Bridge registers
are at pci_ids.h. So, it is a matter of consistency.

Also, I won't doubt that other drivers could need to access those, as
there are other things there on a few of those PCI IDs.

Yet, on patch 12/12, you're adding the Ivy Bridge specific PCI IDs
inside the driver.

So, IMHO, you should either move all to pci_ids.h or to keep them inside
the driver.

My personal taste would be to move them all to pci_ids.h.

Mauro
