Bug Description

We do not store data from HAL devices without an info.bus property and from HAL devices where info.bus is "pnp" or "platform".

Ignoring HAL devices without the info.bus property is correct in most cases, but some childs of /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer like laptops batteries should not be ignored.

Most HAL devices where info.bus is "pnp" or "platform" do not have any useful vendor and product information, so wee need to figure out a way to represent them properly in the HWDB.
