Yes, this is nice. Maybe -ENODEV.
Also, a minimal patch for Ubuntu would probably be:
@@ -2850,7 +2851,7 @@ static __init int setup_vmcs_config(struct vmcs_config
*vmcs_conf)
vmx_capability.ept, vmx_capability.vpid);
}
- min = 0;
+ min = VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS;
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
min |= VM_EXIT_HOST_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE;
#endif
but I don't think it's a good idea to add it to stable kernels.
