cool, can you point me at an existing one that i can use as a reference?

(each vendor is free to define them as they wish, so it could be that multiple vendors have different definitions of the same code/number & would be ambiguous) I don't see any reason to block this patch if it doesn't have such a conflict, since there are already other vendor extension codes supported here for a variety of vendors - but does make me wonder.
