Yes, I also thought about this, and in most cases a user-land
toll should be used to print detailed PCI chip-set information
instead of having all those tables in the kernel.
There already is PCI_QUIET, which removes the chip-set register
dump strings. This could be extended to remove most chip-set IDs,
only those that can have multiple host to PCI bridges must be
checked for in chipset_probe() ...

Same is true of PCI_QUIET, I'm afraid.
