This doesn't make sense. We don't know how to solve this problem yet,
but I'm pretty confident we will need to inject a FD and session into
these drivers too.

In this contex pci-pf-stub is useless, just use vfio-pci as the SRIOV
stub. I wouldn't invest in it. Especially since it creates more
complexity because we don't have an obvious way to get the session FD.
