[Bug 715930] [NEW] geninitrd fails on masked vendor:device entries.

[Paweł Sikora]

Public bug reported:

the new logic in /lib/geninitrd/mod-sata.sh is broken. it simply doesn't
work for masked vendor's devices.

e.g., for jmicorn sata/ide controlers we have masked 0xffff (all
devices) entries:

pata_jmicron         0x0000197b 0x0000ffff 0x0000ffff 0x0000ffff 0x00010100 0x00ffff00 0x0
jmicron              0x0000197b 0x0000ffff 0x0000ffff 0x0000ffff 0x00010100 0x00ffff00 0x0

in such situation the awk logic which uses equality operator won't work and return empty list of kernel modules.
this is a serious bug.
