Easier (if you deal with PCI all the time) but what if they also made
non-Mac cards that behave different there? Seeing the OF data just makes
it clearer that we've got the Mac card here.

So we need both detection methods. Since Dave's card didn't seem to have
OF resources, PCI might be the only way here.
