That's the fundamental problem here. Presenting the same device ID
when the device actually has a very different programming model is
against how PCI is supposed to operate.

For examplem mlx5 devices give unique IDs to their VFs - though they
don't have different programming models.

If novacore doesn't work on VFs at all, even in VMs, then use the
register based detection that was said earlier.
