Yes, you are right.

But I suddenly realized that this may deserve another patch, desperate 
trivial.

What this version adds here is *same* before this patch set is applied.

My explanation about the minor tweak being made before this version and 
previous version

is that  I want to keep my patch *less distraction*.

The major functional gains(benefit) is that we filter non VGA compatible 
devices out.

As a start point, I should keep one patch do one thing (do one thing and 
do it well).


On the other hand, even though the lest significant 8 but if pdev->class 
is really matter.

I think I still need to wait the things(a bug emerged, for example) 
became clear.

Instead of cleanup all potential problems with obvious motivation.

I think Mario will accept my explanation.
