Got another alternative. I may use the vfio_fill_vconfig_bytes()
to fill the cap data from PF's config space into VF's vconfig.
And after that, I can further modify the data in vconfig. e.g.
zero the control reg of pasid cap. would it make more sense?

I'm not sure if adding comments addressed this comment. After adding
new cap in vconfig, it needs to update the cap.next field of prior cap.
And in case of further add other cap, this function needs to update the
prevp pointer to the address of the newly added cap.
