It is a quirk. In pci_ids.h did have PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE
and PCI_BASE_CLASS_STORAGE, these can not represent
the right situation we want to check. 0x01 represents
PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE last 2 bit. Also because it
is a quirk, I do not think we need to change pci_ids.h. So 0x01
used.

PCI configuration space will be changed by BIOS and then in pci
init and restore. So resume also needed.
