I think this is a non-issue.

PCI Vital Product Data is stored on an EEPROM and if the card creator is 
too lazy/cheap to either install one, or program it you get VPD 
checksum errors.

I don't think it is bge specific because you're supposed to be able to 
read VPD in a generic fashion.

(I am no PCI expert so please correct me if wrong)
