The unwanted value does not conform to those rules:  Linux is not yet at
major version 0xB5.

I propose that you change this into a macro actually taking the OS
major/minor version into account, keeping the 0xB16B vendor ID (which
seems safest as the vendor ID registration process seems a bit unclear)
