Hi Borislav Petkov,

According to the Greg Kroah-Hartman, 
"Yeah, and it's a horrid macro that deserves to be removed,
please don't use it in more places."

Currently, there is no other bus that has something like this
macro for their device ids. Thus, DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro
should be removed.

I hope that these patches will be merged through Greg Kroah-Hartman's
'driver-core.git', with 'Acked-by' of each subsystem maintainer.

Best regards,
Jingoo Han
