Well, this just violates the standard API for return value.

The standard semantics are:
- negative - error
- positive - not an error

So you can just return a positive KVM_EXIT_MSIX_ROUTING_UPDATE
instead of ENOTSYNC. This way you do not need to rework all code
and you don't spread MSIX all over kvm.

You just do:
        (r > 0) ? r : KVM_EXIT_MMIO
