Well, it is not real object support ;-) I worked around this using pointers
to structures. I hope we can use "new PCIDevice()" soon...

Yes, we could compile it like keyboard scancodes and merge it in the kernel,
but I'd prefer a solution where a file (in this form or in another) is read
at startup. It's far easier for the end-user to update this list. From now
on, it can be a new resource of the Kernel binary, but when disk support
will be supported, it could be a file on the disk.
