Thanks, Joe.  I added a colon to the two in
vfio_platform_amdxgbe_reset().  Those were the only ones I saw, except
for a couple "%s failed" messages in
drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c, which I didn't change because (1)
they can't use dev_err() so slightly out of scope for this patch, and
(2) it arguably reads more naturally without the colon.

In vfio_pci.c, I converted some pr_info() to dev_info() without adding
a dev_fmt definition, so that removed the KBUILD_MODNAME prefix, which
I didn't intend.  I'll add "#define dev_fmt pr_fmt" to restore the
prefix.

Messages from drivers/vfio use a variety of prefixes (none, "VFIO: ",
KBUILD_MODNAME, __func__).  That could potentially be rationalized but
I would want Alex's guidance first.
