Hi Bjorn,
   I'm reworking this patch, but found some strange info about vpd serial number.
I have two x86 machines, they almost have the same hardware topology. But by lspci,
I found two different Broadcom BCM5709 NIC in different machine have the same vpd serial
number. If this is normal, vpd serial number seems to be useless for identify device change.

The first machine:
