For VFs I also believe we can live with an internal property.

For migratable SIOV devices which are spawned by the management system has similar ID assigned by the mgmt. system.
Having such node local ID is needed anyway.

There is a struggle (scale wise) to make such ID network wide unique if each virtio device to expose such id at transport level.
