Thanks for the report.

Looking into the code I would like rather see the explicit comparison to 0xffff
or ~0 against entire register b/c it's (one of) standard way of devices to tell
that something is not supported.

Moreover, it seems you are bailing out and basically denying driver to load.
This does look that capability is simply the first register that blows the setup.
I think you have to fix something into Xen to avoid loading these drivers or
check with something like pci_device_is_present() approach.

I have a script to make it easier: https://github.com/andy-shev/home-bin-tools/blob/master/ge2maintainer.sh
