That is correct, all hardware uses the 0x127 id. 

I'm not sure where we got 0x722 from - perhaps I or someone else misread the value 

(0x27 and 0x2 are both mentioned in the Programmer's Guide mvendorid bit descriptions).


Everything was tested with qemu modified to use 0x722. Please see [1], for example.

I apologize for the confusion.
