This definition is self-referential.

How about:

  The embodiment of a device type consisting of configuration space,
  virtqueues, and a transport.

This also requires defining "device type":

  A set of configuration space and virtqueue structure definitions that
  offer I/O functionality.

I'm not sure about this "should" statement. Maybe this concept can be
worked into the first sentence or dropped. "May", "can", "should",
"must" are only used in the normative spec sections.
