Where it is always out of date, according to my experience. People tend to update their kernel more often than lspci, so on most machines I've been on, I usally point lspci to the kernel copy of it.
sth. needs to be done in this area in the main distros (e.g. more frequent updates of just this file as a package would be fine).
