Note that only members of the PCI-SIG can do this, which pretty much
rules out any "normal" Linux kernel developer :(

Care to post a public version of this for us to review?

This line is not needed, we know the file name :)

Why is this file in include/linux/ ?  Who needs it there?  Can't it just
be in in the drivers/pci/ directory?  Actually all you need is 2
functions in there, so it could go into the internal pci.h file in that
directory without a problem, right?

Can't you just put "label" as the name?

Um, a dell specific uuid in a generic file?  What happens when we need
to support another manufacturer?

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?

Wait, why does this need to be exported at all?  What module is ever
going to call this function?

Same here, what module will call this?

As discussed above, this whole file does not need to exist.

Just put these two functions in the drivers/pci/pci.h file.
