We've been forth and back on that. I agree that not having any driver
just seems dangerous. If your PF really does nothing we should just
have a trivial pf_stub driver that does nothing but wiring up
pci_sriov_configure_simple. We can then add PCI IDs to it either
statically, or using the dynamic ids mechanism.
