I'll send a v2 where I also use this definition in 
arch/mips/netlogic/xlp/ instead of PCI_VENDOR_NETLOGIC from
arch/mips/include/asm/netlogic/xlp-hal/iomap.h.

Therefore it will remove this definition from the iomap.h
and move it to pci_ids.h

This will IMHO be a clear benefit as it removes a redundant
definition.
