Add Intel Ethernet Virtual Function device IDs to netuio inf file
to support Intel 40GbE and 100GbE deives on Windows VM.
Nit: why only VM? Can't VF be used from the host?
I'm not an expert here, but I believe there is a limitation in Hyper-V 
(the Windows host hypervisor) where VFs cannot be assigned to the host - 
VFs can only be assigned to the guest VMs. (I believe there is no such 
limitation with Linux-based hypervisors). Hopefully, someone from 
Microsoft can confirm this.
