Trivia: You lost the space after "Try".

It's generally better not to split format strings into
multiple pieces.

Perhaps:
 				dev_err(&pdev->xdev->dev, "Could not claim resource %s/%d! Device offline. Try using e820_host=1 in the guest config.\n",

or
 				dev_err(&pdev->xdev->dev, "Could not claim resource %s/%d! "
					"Device offline. Try using e820_host=1 in the guest config.\n",
