Question about the proc filesystem.

I noticed that on (PCI) devices that Linux recognizes it doesn't put the
vendor id or device id.  (also it doesn't have any sort of special
seperator between the Vendor Name and Device Name)
Is there a way to ask the kernel to always include vendor id and device
id in /proc/pci, and to seperate the vendor and device names with
something other than a space.

ie, an unknown device:
  Bus  1, device   5, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16).
      Vendor id=13f6. Device id=111.
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 11.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min
Gnt=2.Max Lat=24.
      I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401].

VS a known device:
  Bus  0, device  10, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10000 (rev
5).
      IRQ 5.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=2.Max Lat=20.
      I/O at 0xa000 [0xa01f].
