[bit late on this one...]

Here's what the documentation says:
<quote>
4.77 KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT

Capability: basic
Architectures: arm, arm64
Type: vcpu ioctl
Parameters: struct struct kvm_vcpu_init (in)
Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
Errors:
  EINVAL:    the target is unknown, or the combination of features is invalid.
  ENOENT:    a features bit specified is unknown.
</quote>

When this call fails, it is because you've requested a feature
that is invalid for this CPU. To me, that exactly fits the
EINVAL entry copied above.

Or am I completely misunderstanding it?
