Public bug reported: This came up on IRC [1]. By default, nova will not allow you to use PF devices unless you specifically request this type of device. This is intentional behavior to allow users to whitelist all devices from a particular vendor and avoid passing through the PF device when they meant to only consume the VFs. In the future, we might want to prevent whitelisting of both PF and VFs, but for now we should document the current behavior.
