That looks kinda like it's just a list of PCI IDs claimed by the driver.

AFAIK there is no indication thus far that things like server parts are
affected, but it's likely that those systems would be less likely to
trigger the bug in the first place, so, to the best of my knowledge,
it's currently unclear exactly which systems are at risk (hence
blacklisting/removing the entire e1000e module)
