 # Known bugs/limitations:
+# - You will see a lot of "compile errors" from the C-pre-processor.
+#   Recommented workaround is using I/O redirection.  example given
+#     src/util/get-pci-ids > pci-ids 2> /dev/null
+# - Getting the PCI-IDs is more as just reading file as `grep` does,
+#   so be warned that it takes long. (More then seven minutes on my system.)
 # - Does not recognize all drivers because some require special cflags.
 #   Fails also on some drivers that do belong to other architectures
 #   than the one of the machine this script is running on.
