But the initial vDEVICE would be still unusable. Its BDF number is
literally 0 in my case. It can't be used for SID-based invalidation
nor the reverse vSID lookup for fault injection..

Yes. If we take some aggressive use case into account, where its
BDF number could change multiple times, I think it's natural for
VMM to simply destroy the previous vDEVICE and allocate a new one
with a new BDF number, right?
