Unrelated change? The parameter list doesn't go over 80 characters so
this rearranging is not necessary, and in any case should be done in a
separate commit or at least mentioned in the commit log.

I would maybe write this as:

"Unprivileged domain are not allowed unhandled accesses to the config
space."

But that's mostly a nit, and would also apply to the comment in
vpci_read_hw().

Thanks, Roger.
