I'd probably let the cards that currently aren't matched against a
specific renderer string just hit the fallback code, since that's
effectively what was happening before. I probably wouldn't bother
removing existing entries, since it doesn't really gain us anything.
For what it's worth, you may also want to consider splitting this by
e.g. first getting rid of d3d_level_from_gl_info() in
select_card_nvidia_binary(), then in select_card_amd_binary(), etc.,
and try to avoid large series. I.e., first work on getting the first 5
or so patches comitted, then work on the next couple, etc.
