+  * virpcivpd: Add a PCI VPD parser
+
+    A parser for the standard PCI/PCIe VPD ("I.3. VPD Definitions" in PCI 2.2+
+    and an equivalent definition in "6.28.1 VPD Format" PCIe 4.0) was added
+    along with relevant types to represent PCI VPD in memory. This
+    functionality got added for Linux only at this point (kernels above
+    v2.6.26 have support for exposing VPD via sysfs).
+
 * **Improvements**
 
 * **Bug fixes**
