Why does it exit? VFIO should build the virtual capability list from
scratch (just like classic device assignment does), recreating the
layout of the physical device (except for masked out caps). In that
case, this conflict should become impossible, no?

But if pci_*add*_capability should actually be used like this (I doubt
this), some renaming would be required. "Add" sound like "append" to me,
not "update".
