Re: [patch] vfio: make an array larger

Sorry, I should have said that I am on linux-next at the start.

Yes.

No.  I am on linux-next and we appear to have added a new element
beyond PCI_CAP_ID_AF.

#define  PCI_CAP_ID_AF          0x13    /* PCI Advanced Features */
#define  PCI_CAP_ID_EA          0x14    /* PCI Enhanced Allocation */
#define  PCI_CAP_ID_MAX         PCI_CAP_ID_EA

In linux-next it makes it larger.  But also explicitly using
PCI_CAP_ID_MAX + 1 is cleaner as well as fixing the bug in case we add
more elements later again.
