No need for split. It would fit 80 chars.

This is a header included by a few source files, so the less we expose the
better. Please combine vgic_id_gic_field() into id_reg_set_gic_field() given its
simplicity and the fact that it is only used in the latter. Also, your new
helpers use a vgic.h namespace (this header uses vreg_ prefix). I think it makes
sense to s/id_reg_set_gic_field/vreg_id_reg_set_gic_field/ and
s/ID_REG_GIC_WIDTH/VREG_ID_REG_GIC_WIDTH/.

With that changed:
