What's your definition of "sane configuration" ?

Nothing is stopping you from using the PCI ids as the *actual* tagging
mechanism, but perhaps using the xfree86 card name as a comment to
help the user out a bit.

IMO, that extra "config comment" stuff should be handled at user-level.
Keep that sort of stuff out of the kernel.
