I don't think this works with standard VFs, per the spec the device ID
register returns 0xFFFF.  Likely need to look for a CRS or error status
across both vendor and device ID registers.

We could be a little more formal and specific describing the skipped
states too, ex. "PCIe capability", "PCI-X capability", "PCI AER
capability", etc.  Thanks,

Alex
