Supply cmd-line parameters to QEMU via LibVirt. To emulate other PCI device ID to the guest:

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-set'/>
    <qemu:arg value='device.hostdev0.x-pci-device-id=7089'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

Setting vfio module to “catch” GPU on boot. Dont forget to blacklist nvidia* drivers.

/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf:

 options vfio-pci ids=10de:1b81,10de:10f0 disable_vga=1
