You need to review the vgem code to see whether we're using id 0 as
invalid identifier or not. That's part of the work that needs to be
done here. Best would be to explain the evidence you've found in the
commit message, why id 0 is invalid for this specific code. Since yes
in general that's not true, it depends how the idr is used.
