Not included, all of them presume functionality I haven't included, 
and I haven't a clue how to implement much of it.

I don't know if toybox has support for double-character switches 
(--longopts and -s are supported).

What I wrote is just a little better than busybox:
busybox has -m and -k, and outputs only numeric ID's (like lspci-FULL -n).
I added a do-nothing -n since that's what I output already,
and -e for the full class width.
-v and -q are not supported.

-v displays all the textual information in sysfs, including an expanded 
version of any magic numbers. But what's a little trickier than that is
displaying "Kernel modules:".  It means looking up the modalias (find 
all modules containing "alias=%s",modalias); this could be done via a 
search of the tree, a search of modules.alias, or of bb.modules.alias. 
Which to do depends on your modprobe/depmod. And to look through the tree
may mean supporting any type of compression.
But really, find_modalias() would be useful for modinfo, modprobe, and I
guess lspci.

Textual ID's require parsing the database (/usr/share/misc/pci.ids{,gz}),
which I have hardly looked at. 
But it looks like it's search for ^vendor, then while line[0] == '\t'
look for ^\tdevice.
If support is conditional, looking this up seems reasonable...

As far as query via DNS goes, I have not done any netwrk programming,
and if I had I would still want to say "that doesn't belong in lspci - 
update your local database!" ;)

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
