For the memory modules.  I do not have spares for all the modules that
might be potentially affected, and in some sites, I do not want to send
engineers on-site for the reboot without something in their pockets that
they can use to fix the issue, if need arives (no "4h on-site" contracts)
- so if they just take along the memory modules that might be relevant,
it's not a much to carry and should be good enough to fix things...

Well, it might be the same module with a different number in EEPROM, like
the various SFP part numbers they have...
