It should be sizeof(VFIOPCIDevice), VFIO_PCI uses same structure as
base class VFIO_PCI_BASE, so no need to set its instance_size explicitly.

This isn't catastrophic only because VFIO_PCI_BASE is an abstract class.

For the people who has a doubt how the size is sizeof(PCIDevice). :)

  * @instance_size: The size of the object (derivative of #Object).  If
  *   @instance_size is 0, then the size of the object will be the size of the
  *   parent object.



It should be sizeof(VFIOPCIDevice), VFIO_PCI uses same structure as
base class VFIO_PCI_BASE, so no need to set its instance_size explicitly.

This isn't catastrophic only because VFIO_PCI_BASE is an abstract class.
