/**
* virtio_config_ops - operations for configuring a virtio device
+ * Note: Do not assume that a transport implements all of the operations
+ * getting/setting a value as a simple read/write! Generally speaking,
+ * any of @get/@set, @get_status/@set_status, or @get_features/
+ * @finalize_features are NOT safe to be called from an atomic
+ * context.
* @get: read the value of a configuration field
* vdev: the virtio_device
* offset: the offset of the configuration field
