I can't remember for sure why I put them in e1000e-ich9m/netdev.c.
However, upstream is taking the attitude that PCI IDs don't need to be
shared (most of the time), and therefore belong in their respective .c
files. For the purposes of backporting, we should stick with the way
upstream is dong it in order to avoid future conflicts..
