VFIO reads a dword beyond the standard PCI config space (256 bytes) to know if there are extended config space (4096 bytes). It relies on the platform to return zero if there is no extended space. However at least on PPC64/POWERNV platform, the system firmware (OPAL) returns 0xffffffff in this case. VFIO treats it as a proof that there is extended config space and calls vfio_ecap_init() which fails to parse capabilities (which is expected) but right before the exit, it writes zero at offset of 256 which is beyond the buffer allocated for vdev->vconfig - it is 256 bytes for a device without extended config space. This adds an additional check that config space read returned non-zero and non-ffffffff value.
