+PCI device name database
+CONFIG_PCI_NAMES
+  By default, the kernel contains a database of all known PCI device
+  names to make the information in /proc/pci, /proc/ioports and similar
+  files comprehensible to the user. This database increases size of
+  the kernel image by about 80KB, but it gets freed after the system
+  boots up, so it doesn't take up kernel memory. Anyway, if you are
+  building an installation floppy or kernel for an embedded system
+  where kernel image size really matters, you can disable this feature
+  and you'll get device ID numbers instead of names.
+
+  When in doubt, say Y.
