PCI: Require vendor and device for new_id

Browse source 
Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
has been reported to happen accidentally:
  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.

This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
"feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
is what the USB subsystem does.

All fields are passed in as hexadecimal values (no leading 0x).
Users need pass only as many fields as necessary:
o vendor, device, subvendor, and subdevice fields default
to PCI_ANY_ID (FFFFFFFF),
The vendor and device fields are mandatory, the others are optional. Users
need pass only as many optional fields as necessary:
o subvendor and subdevice fields default to PCI_ANY_ID (FFFFFFFF)
o class and classmask fields default to 0
o driver_data defaults to 0UL.
