Title:
  PCI passthrough documentation does not describe the steps necessary to
  passthrough PFs

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) train series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This came up on IRC [1]. By default, nova will not allow you to use PF
  devices unless you specifically request this type of device. This is
  intentional behavior to allow users to whitelist all devices from a
  particular vendor and avoid passing through the PF device when they
  meant to only consume the VFs. In the future, we might want to prevent
  whitelisting of both PF and VFs, but for now we should document the
  current behavior.
