  * files are written to. Here's the list of files we watch:
  *
- * /sys/bus/pci/drivers/<driver>/new_id:
- *   Learn the driver new vendor and device combination.
- *   Data in format "VVVV DDDD".
- *
- * /sys/bus/pci/drivers/<driver>/remove_id
- *   Make the driver forget about vendor and device.
- *   Data in format "VVVV DDDD".
- *
  * /sys/bus/pci/drivers/<driver>/bind
  *   Check if driver supports the device and bind driver to it (create symlink
  *   called 'driver' pointing to the /sys/but/pci/drivers/<driver>).
