Its bit tricky to test these cherry picked patches.

Basically we have udev script.. which gets triggered whenever there is a
change in sysfs. All is does is "/bin/touch /run/run.vpdupdate".

Script  was generic and used to trigger wheenever there is any change in
/sys/devices/ node.

On large system it resulted in calling udev script number of times
during boot and impacted on boot time performance. Hence we have fine
tuned this script.

So you may not see much difference on smaller system. As long as system
boots fine with updated libvpd we are good.
