For each transaction we execute in this loop, don't we also need to do
the actions vexpress_config_complete does? E.g.

	trans->status = status;
	list_del(&trans->list);
	complete(&trans->completion);

except in the case status==VEXPRESS_CONFIG_STATUS_WAIT.

Or, does the call to func_exec cause vexpress_config_complete() to be
called later? (It hadn't better be called synchronously or we get a
deadlock).

Actually, if it is called later, there is still a problem because if the
call to func_exec returns VEXPRESS_CONFIG_STATUS_DONE then the
transaction is left on the list and the while loop will try and execute
it again.
