I could do this but I can predict endless argument whether a generic
pci_vpd_size() should scan for something which looks like VPD but it is
not, etc. I'd read at 0xc00, if it is 0x82, then pci_set_vpd_size(0xe00)
and that's it.

Well, no. When I did this, I just wanted opinions :) I'll have a list here
in next revision.

It cannot, the cxgb3 driver is not running on the host, vfio-pci controls it
.

In this particular case cxgb3 driver is not running, vfio-pci controls the
device on the host side and does all the filtering so I have to add a quirk
to  drivers/pci/quirks.c with all 13 PCI IDs of cxgb3 hardware OOOOOR
implement quirks in vfio-pci (it has one already but I seriously doubt we
should extend it).

Fixing cxgb3 in the guest won't make any difference.

So where should I put the quirks? Thanks.
