Subject: [PATCH 0/2] virtio: virtio_config_ops documentation

After the latest virtio-balloon changes, it became clear that
it is not obvious that some of the virtio operations (e.g.
reading or writing the config space) cannot be done from an
atomic context for all transports.

At least try to document that, and also fix some inconsistencies
I noticed along the way.
