Minor nitpick.

The error logic here is somewhat confusing. If a VMI_CALL_Init results in a failure, you end up with:

 VMI ROM failed to initialize
VMI ROM version mismatch (kernel requires version >= 13.0) - falling back to native mode

The later error is misleading as the version may actually match. The nesting here probably could be simplified to.
