You're using up 2 lines for each of those assignments now anyway, so why 
not just split it into

  s->reply_queue_head = ldl_le_pci_dma(pcid, s->producer_pa);
  s->reply_queue_head %= MEGASAS_MAX_FRAMES;

and that way avoid a real multi-line statement (which is hard to read).

Whether the bitmask really is what hardware would do, I don't know. I'll 
let Hannes comment there. Maybe the hardware simply does

  s->reply_queue_head = MIN(ldl_le_pci_dma(pcid, s->producer_pa), 
MEGASAS_MAX_FRAMES);

But I agree that the mask is more likely.
