Currently in Azure cloud, for passthrough devices, the host sets the device instance ID's bytes 8 - 15 to a value derived from the host HWID, which is the same on all devices in a VM. So, the device instance ID's bytes 8 and 9 provided by the host are no longer unique. This affects all Azure hosts since July 2018, and can cause device passthrough to VMs to fail because the bytes 8 and 9 are used as PCI domain number. Collision of domain numbers will cause the second device with the same domain number fail to load. In the cases of collision, we will detect and find another number that is not in use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
