Thanks for working on this.

The only thing that bothers me using this ("unsynchronised") internal
pci device list is that, if people were using the ethtool part of kni,
there would now be devices that won't be recognised anymore.
Is it intentional ?
If so, we should explain why in the documentation.

Same comment for the igb patch.
