PCI: Document pci_ids.h addition policy.
IDs should generally only be added to pci_ids.h when they're shared across several files in the tree. IDs that are just used by a single driver should be defined in the driver instead. Perhaps documenting this is a good idea to prevent things being moved there, as it still seems to be happening judging from the git log. (based on discussion w/gregkh and others).
