nothing changes on for VFs.
Then:

/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0# cat device 
0x10c9

/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0# cat vf_did
0x10ca

Putting the VF device ID in the PF device file would be a change of
that we expose to userspace.  Something might break.

vf_did provides a easy way to retrieve the VF device ID without reading
the PF config (looking up the SR-IOV capability and reading it) or without
enabling SR-IOV to read for example virtfn0/device.

Similar considerations (ease of access) apply to offset and stride.
