I first thought that this was because I ran the script from the
command line and it was supposed to be invoked through some apport
magic. It turns out it's not only me. There are already 10 duplicates
of this bug report since yesterday(!):

Didn't work.

go at storhaugen:~$ ./apport-gpu-error-intel.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./apport-gpu-error-intel.py", line 121, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "./apport-gpu-error-intel.py", line 93, in main
    report['PciDisplay'] = pci_devices(PCI_DISPLAY)
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

which I guess only means that pci_devices is not a function, but an
array or something, but then I don't really know Python.
