I think the comments for kvm_psci_call() aren't correct since its return value
can't be negative after 7e484d2785e2 ("KVM: arm64: Return NOT_SUPPORTED to guest
for unknown PSCI version"). The comments should have been adjusted in that commit.

Please take a look on 37c8e4947947 ("KVM: arm64: Let errors from SMCCC emulation
to reach userspace"). Similarly, the block of code to set GPR0 to ~0ULL when negative
error is returned from kvm_smccc_call_handler() in this patch needs to be dropped.

Please refer to the above reply. The block of code needs to be dropped.
