Add Intel Ethernet Virtual Function device IDs to netuio inf file

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.
