The GHCB specification declares that the firmware error value for a
guest request will be stored in the lower 32 bits of EXIT_INFO_2.
The upper 32 bits are for the VMM's own error code. The fw_err argument
is thus a misnomer, and callers will need access to all 64 bits.

The type of unsigned long also causes problems, since sw_exit_info2 is
u64 (unsigned long long) vs the argument's previous unsigned long*.
The signature change requires the follow-up change to
drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest to use the new expected type in order to
compile.

The firmware might not even be called, so we bookend the call with the
no firmware call error and clearing the error.

Looks like you can do "*exitinfo2 = ghcb->save.sw_exit_info_2;" just before the "if (ghcb->save.sw_exit_info_2) {". That would eliminate the need to assign it in each branch of the if.

Thanks,
