looking at the only user of PCI_TXT_IDS_DIR/PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH, the
comment right above the function is:

Maybe there's something that {sh,c}ould be improved on the binary
driver side? In any case, you may want to check with upstream

the cleanest way. I guess I could start that discussion, but I don't
care enough about non-free stuff to do so.
