Please expose the vmgenid via /sysfs so that user space even remotely 
has a chance to check if it's been cloned.

According to the VMGenID spec[1], you can only rely on _CID and _DDN for 
matching. They both contain "VM_Gen_Counter". The list above contains 
_HID values which are not an official identifier for the VMGenID device.

IIRC the ACPI device match logic does match _CID in addition to _HID. 
However, it is limited to 8 characters. Let me paste an experimental 
hack I did back then to do the _CID matching instead.
