This is part of our on-going work to get P2P support upstream. We want
to use pci_p2pdma_distance_many to determine whether P2P is possible
between a pair of devices. This whitelist is used in this function. This
will affect the P2P links reported in the topology and it will be
double-checked in the BO mapping function to ensure a peer mapping is legal.

I think this change is a bit free of context at the moment, as we're
still working on a few other loose ends for P2P support in our internal
branch. I'm hoping we'll have a bigger patch series for upstreamable KFD
P2P support ready in a few weeks. I also think we'll probably want to
add a few more PCI IDs for other supported AMD root complexes.
