pciconf isn't on any picobsd images I've seem.

However, we can save a lot of space by reorganizing pci/pcisupport.c in
such a way to make it easy to drop text identifiers for the pci devices.
I seem to remember posting one way to do it to -arch a while back.  It
was a sizable win on the images I was playing with.

Anyone interested can look at the (now heavily outdated) patch and
recreate it.  phk suggested there be one massive table, but I used a
table per device type.  I'm uncertain as to what others think on that.

Cheers,

Neil
