Sorry, I misunderstood you in my last email.
After here's change, it seems the call in modify_decoding() is redundant.
What's your taste? Removing the call in modify_decoding() or adding a code
comment?

Got it.
One more question, if change to be that, then how should I modify the
definition of VPCI_ARRAY?
Is POINTER_ALIGN still right?
Since I encountered errors that the values of __start_vpci_array are not right
when I use them in vpci_init_capabilities().
