I guess this specifically refers to D3cold, right?  VPD is accessed
via config space, which should work in all D0-D3hot states, but not in
D3cold.  I don't see anything in the spec about needing to be in D0 to
access VPD.

I assume there's no public problem report we could cite here?  I
suppose the behavior in D3cold is however the system handles a UR
error.
