Much better, thanks!
A couple of small tweaks to polish it up and it'll be ready.

Actually even easier: int vectors = 1; and then we do not need
this last line.
Sorry I only noticed now.

As long as we are here let's fix the grammar, and there's no need to
say "ret":
			"vp_vdpa: failed to request irq for config: %d\n", ret);
