This is not really for a 10de vendor, but for all pci devices accessed
via zpci, isn't it?

We obviously want to avoid collisions here; not really sure how to
cover all possible vendors. Maybe just pick a high number?

"CLP features" == "features returned by the CLP instruction", I guess?
Maybe mention that explicitly?

This '__packed' annotation seems redundant. I think that all of these
structures should be defined in a way that packing is unneeded (which
seems to be the case on a quick browse.)

s/it's/its/

Is the 'id' something that is already provided by the CLP instruction?

What does 'initial' mean in this context? Information you get for a
freshly initialized function?

Is there an upper boundary for this string?

Is this a classic NUL-terminated string, or a list of EBCDIC characters?

Same question here.
