Trivia: You lost the space after "Try".
It's generally better not to split format strings into
multiple pieces.
Perhaps:
dev_err(&pdev->xdev->dev, "Could not claim
resource %s/%d! Device offline. Try using e820_host=1 in the guest config.\n",
or
dev_err(&pdev->xdev->dev, "Could not claim
resource %s/%d! "
"Device offline. Try using e820_host=1
in the guest config.\n",
