Hi again -
Having actually tried to work with this patch, I realized that I
wanted a little more information passed into the callback function. I
also realized that it's rather difficult to do things like separating
the vendor and device IDs in Lua, since it lacks bitwise operators. My
new patch passes 9 arguments to the callback function: bus index,
device index, function index, primary vendor ID, primary device ID,
subsystem vendor ID, subsystem device ID, base class, and sub-class.
Thanks,
- Evan
