Doesn't the pci subsystem create driver_override for all devices
on the pci bus?

Ow. Indeed:

#define IFCVF_VENDOR_ID         0x1AF4

Which is of course not an IFCVF vendor id, it's the Red Hat vendor ID.

I missed that.

Does it actually work if you bind a virtio driver to it?
I'm guessing no otherwise they wouldn't need IFC driver, right?

But IIUC there is no guarantee that driver with a specific subvendor
matches in presence of a generic one.
So either IFC or virtio pci can win, whichever binds first.

I guess we need to blacklist IFC in virtio pci probe code. Ugh.
