This is caused by a bug in Devres, which I already fixed in [1].

With the patch in [1] nova-core should gracefully fail probing for the
non-supported device classes as expected.

However, I think we still want to filter by PCI class, so the patch is fine in
general. :)

Few comments below.

I think it would be nice if we could provide a Rust enum for PCI classes, such
that this could be pci::Class::DISPLAY_VGA instead.

Of course the same is true for PCI (sub)vendor, (sub)device IDs.

With the prelude included you should be able to use ENODEV directly.

Please split the PCI part up into a separate patch.
