pci: remove requirement for revision ID to be 0
While spec previously required revision to be 0 exactly it turned out not to be an efficient means to disable legacy drivers - we had to resort to changing device ID instead. So let's free up this field making it available for device makers for hardware versioning. Resolves VIRTIO-22 Approved OASIS meeting 2013-09-24. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
