This would limit len to 16 GiB as "unsigned" (looks like "unsigned int" is 
preferred in kernel) is only 32 bit long. Instead i should probably be size_t, 
too.

Ok, that took me a moment. How about BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(foo, PAGE_SIZE))?

The buffer looks rather huge here. I'm too lazy to calculate an exact size but 
256 should still be more than enough, no?

If MSI and MSI-X are exclusive the last one could be "else if".
