This looks like standard VRM 8.4 to me, nothing special.

Sure, add new VRM-like values if needed. We might end up defining
constant for these so that the number do not look like magic.

While you're at it, I think we should do some changes to vid_from_reg: I
think VRM 8.2 was the default for historical reasons, but it's not
safe. We shouldn't have no default. 8.2 should be handled explicitely
as other values are. Any non-zero, non-handled value should trigger a
debug log message. Any non-handled value should result in 0 being
returned. OK?

Thanks,
