I think that would be unsafe with current qede - 
qede currently publishes its VFs' PCI device-id as part its MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE,
even if CONFIG_QED_SRIOV isn't enabled [might be the wrong thing to do, but that
how it goes].
Without changing this, if for some reason we'd have an assigned VF to a VM
whose kernel isn't compiled with CONFIG_QED_SRIOV [which is an odd config],
that VM is likely to miserably crash.
