guests with vmxnet3 drivers to see if the NIC works as expected.
Maybe you could even try running WHQL tests on the VMXNET3 driver
inside a Windows guest - I'm not sure, I've never looked into WHQL.
The community has been developing the qtest framework which is for
device-level testing. For example, you could poke hardware registers
and check that the correct interrupt gets raised. However, this
framework is being extended to cover busses and hardware as developers
decide they want test coverage. PCI support isn't available yet but
Anthony Liguori recently worked on qtest PCI code.
