The large string should make the collision probability with other
vendor-specific strings to be near nil.

No way in hell.  vs is vendor specific and we absolutely can't overload
it with any sort of meaning.  Get OCSSD support properly standardized and
add a class code for it.  Until then it's individual PCI IDs.
