Yes, that is correct.

This error case means that userspace tried to configure features
or a higher level of features that were not supported on the host.
In that sense, I chose -E2BIG.

I wanted to use an error code specific to this particular case, which
I think makes debugging userspace issue easier when KVM_SET_ONE_REG
fails, and I couldn't find other error codes that fit this case better.
So, I'm trying to avoid using -EINVAL, which is used for other failure
cases.

If you have any other suggested error code for this,
that would be very helpful:)

Thanks,
Reiji
