Makes sense, although thinking more about this it was the first paragraph
that was correct, because it refers to:

  struct virtio_pci_cap64 {
    struct virtio_pci_cap {
      ...
      le32 offset;
      le32 length;
    } cap;
    u32 offset_hi;
    u32 length_hi;
  }

So it would be \field{cap.offset} and \field{offset_hi}.
I'll send a v2
