Since the driver does not declare any device GUID's, it will not get

You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver by looking
for it in sysfs, for example like the following::
- ls -l /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/vmbus-ed963694-e847-4b2a-85af-bc9cfc11d6f3/driver
+ ls -l /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/ed963694-e847-4b2a-85af-bc9cfc11d6f3/driver
Which if successful should print::
