Well that's all in theory, in practice it does not look like revision ID
is specified in the NetKVM inf so this won't work?
>From what I see this inf specifies:
NetKVM/wlh/netkvm.inf:%kvmnet6.DeviceDesc% = kvmnet6.ndi,
PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1000&SUBSYS_00011AF4
NetKVM/wxp/netkvm.inf:%kvmnet5.DeviceDesc% = kvmnet5.ndi,
PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1000&SUBSYS_00011AF4
NetKVM/wxp/netkvm2k.inf:%kvmnet5.DeviceDesc% = kvmnet5.ndi,
PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1000&SUBSYS_00011AF4
So we can tweak any of vendor device and subsystem id.
Changing subsystem vendor ID actually will be completely
transparent to linux which for some reason looks at the
subsystem device ID (why? no idea) but not the subsystem vendor ID.
Of course this requires a valid vendor ID, getting this
costs $3000 I think.
We could tweak device ID too but that might break some other guests
which don't copy the crazy 'replace device id with subsystem device id'
logic from Linux.
