Bug Description

On a Cavium arm64 server, no network device is detected on commissioning.

This happens because all network devices are VFs, since the PF is not available to the OS.

The resources binary reports interface ports under the VFs section: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DHrRvk69GX/

MAAS should look for entries with ports under those as well

There also seem to be an issue with the resources binary, reporting interfaces twice in the card "vfs" section, where one entry has a pci_address, the other one doesn't.
