It has some PCI IDs, just not all:

static SymTabRec avivo_chips[] = {
    { PCI_CHIP_RV515_7142, "RV515 (Radeon X1300)" },
    { PCI_CHIP_RV530_71C2, "RV530 (Radeon X1600)" },
    { PCI_CHIP_RV530_71C5, "RV530 (Radeon X1600)" },
    { PCI_CHIP_R580_724B,  "R580 (Radeon X1900 GT)" },
    { -1,                  NULL }
};

If yours isn't in the list, well, there's the srpm for that...
