The argument could definitely be made that our vendor ID should be
promoted to UAPI. Even though linux is the only known user of our
vendor-specific hypercalls, nothing is stopping other software from
using them. Beyond that, these values should really never change anyway.

It isn't a big deal if you add it to internal headers, either, as the
only known consumer will be the kernel.
