driver_aliases only sees PCI device ids on x86.
To have "qfe" devices properly represented by the "qfe" driver, while
allowing for "hme" devices to be seen by the "hme" driver, we need some
code. The only differences between these two devices are:
1) qfe has a specific parent PCI bridge
2) different Fcode
The point is that admins don't want to rename the devices for qfe to
hme, because it will cause major conversion headaches. And on x86, it
would be "nice" if qfe devices were still qfe (as they are on sparc)
rather than being known by "hme" in the x86 hardware.
