Fixes: cd7498d07fbb ("s390x/pci: Add routine to get the vfio dma available count")
Fixes: 1e7552ff5c34 ("s390x/pci: get zPCI function info from host")

I can fix the spelling mistakes pointed out by Phil while applying, and
also add an 's390x/pci' prefix.

Would not mind a quick test run from someone with the hardware.
