Yes, any kinds of (PCI)device could be registered to the vDPA bus. For PCI
driver, it supports exact mathing based on subsystem ID.
E.g in IFCVF driver it does:
static struct pci_device_id ifcvf_pci_ids[] = {
{ PCI_DEVICE_SUB(IFCVF_VENDOR_ID,
IFCVF_DEVICE_ID,
IFCVF_SUBSYS_VENDOR_ID,
IFCVF_SUBSYS_DEVICE_ID) },
{ 0 },
};
Which uses Redhat primary vendor ID but their own sybsysm
vendor/device ID.
Thanks
