Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] PCI: correct nic order on Dell PowerEdge systems

<Resending due to lack of response from PCI maintainer.  This problem
 still afflicts 3.0-rc and 2.6.39>

In commit 6e8af08dfa40b747002207d3ce8e8b43a050d99f ("PCI: enable pci=bfsort
by default on future Dell systems"), the callback added was placed at the
top of the list, before the specific PowerEdge models.  This ends up
breaking the more specific models listed, since the new callback handles
all Dell systems but the older systems don't have the new 0xB1 smbios
entry.

Fix this by placing the new check _after_ the more specific PowerEdge
sytems.
