Instead of having explicit if statements excluding devices,
use a pci_device_id table of devices to blacklist.
HPE will put out minor updates to the iLO using the same device
info except for the subsystem device id. hpilo driver takes the
approach to claim based upon {Vendor, Device, SubVendor} and it
allows old software to work on new hardware without patching.
As our primary way to support our customers is via distros, the
patching process could take months to go upstream and then
backported to multiple releases of multiple distros.
This approach worked fairly well as this is only the second time
in 10+ years that we need to blacklist an instance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
