Due to Azure host agent settings, the device instance ID's bytes 8 and 9
are no longer unique. This causes some of the PCI devices not showing up
in VMs with multiple passthrough devices, such as GPUs. So, as recommended
by Azure host team, we now use the bytes 4 and 5 which usually provide
unique numbers.

In the rare cases of collision, we will detect and find another number
that is not in use.
Thanks to Michael Kelley <mikelley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> for proposing this idea.
