As this is changing the format of a user-visable file, what tools just
broke that are used to parsing the old format?

And are you sure about this? That's not how my system looks at all, I
have fun things like:

ac000000-da0fffff : PCI Bus 0000:03
ac000000-da0fffff : PCI Bus 0000:04
ac000000-c3efffff : PCI Bus 0000:06
c3f00000-c3ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:39
c3f00000-c3f0ffff : 0000:39:00.0
c3f00000-c3f0ffff : xhci-hcd
c4000000-d9ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:3a
c4000000-d9ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:3b
c4000000-c40fffff : PCI Bus 0000:3c
c4000000-c400ffff : 0000:3c:00.0
c4000000-c400ffff : xhci-hcd
c4010000-c4010fff : 0000:3c:00.0
c4011000-c4011fff : 0000:3c:00.0
c4100000-c41fffff : PCI Bus 0000:3d
c4100000-c410ffff : 0000:3d:00.0
c4100000-c410ffff : xhci-hcd
c4110000-c4110fff : 0000:3d:00.0
c4111000-c4111fff : 0000:3d:00.0
c4200000-c42fffff : PCI Bus 0000:3e
c4200000-c4207fff : 0000:3e:00.0
c4200000-c4207fff : xhci-hcd
c4300000-c43fffff : PCI Bus 0000:3f
c4300000-c437ffff : 0000:3f:00.0
c4380000-c4383fff : 0000:3f:00.0
c4400000-d9ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:40
da000000-da0fffff : PCI Bus 0000:05
da000000-da03ffff : 0000:05:00.0
da040000-da040fff : 0000:05:00.0


which is a mix of the resources in some places, and just driver names in
others.

But, that does imply that your change will not break anything as the
parsing of this mess is probably just "anything after the ':'
character...

thanks,
