Module parameter on what? The module parameter parsing code is afaict
provided by the end-driver (e.g., virtio-net) which only speaks virtio and has
no idea there is an actual PCI device in the backend.

Isn't it easier to just make it clear that a PCI id within the 0x1000-10ef range
is a prerequisite for inclusion in mainline linux / qemu and leave it at that?

Btw, including just a subset of the experimental range like e.g.,
0x10f0-0x10f3 would
be fine with me, if there is a desire to be compatible with the "allow for
breaking the ABI" rationale for the 0x1000-0x103f range.

Thanks,
Pantelis
