I think kernel driver supports multiple IDs. If they don't want to
"QEMUXXXX" as ACPI ID, it's free to add a new one like below.

+static const struct acpi_device_id virtio_mmio_acpi_match[] = {
+       { "QEMU0005", },
+       { "1AF4103F", },
+       { }
+};
+MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, virtio_mmio_acpi_match);
