I agree that this should be better. For example we already check if the 
buffer is large enough in the simulator callbacks, we only need to 
return an error in case it is not true.

@Jason, do you think it's okay to add a return value to 
vdpa_config_ops->get/set_config() to handle the size check?

Thanks,
