Ok, here's the excerpt:

+    /* Test the size of the pba variables and catch if they extend outside of
+     * the specified BAR. If it is the case, we have a broken configuration or
+     * we need to apply a hardware specific quirk. */
+    if (vdev->msix->table_offset >=
+        vdev->bars[vdev->msix->table_bar].region.size ||
+        vdev->msix->pba_offset >=
+        vdev->bars[vdev->msix->pba_bar].region.size) {
+
+        PCIDevice *pdev = &vdev->pdev;
+        uint16_t vendor = pci_get_word(pdev->config + PCI_VENDOR_ID);
+        uint16_t device = pci_get_word(pdev->config + PCI_DEVICE_ID);
+
+        /* Chelsio T5 Virtual Function devices are encoded as 0x58xx for T5
+         * adapters. The T5 hardware returns an incorrect value of 0x8000 for
+         * the VF PBA offset. The correct value is 0x1000, so we hard code that
+         * here. */
+        if (vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_CHELSIO && (device & 0xff00) == 0x5800) {
+            vdev->msix->pba_offset = 0x1000;
+        } else {
+            error_report("vfio: Hardware reports invalid configuration, "
+            "MSIX data outside of specified BAR");
+            return -EINVAL;
+        }
+    }


What you are suggesting is:
If table_offset is not as expected, then check if it's a chelsio device.
If it's not, then print a message. On the other hand, if it's a chelsio
device, then let msix_init() catch the error. Why ? And if we are sure
that msix_init will error out, what's the purpose of the table_offset
check ?
