Actually looking at the whole struct, it may be useful to also change at least some of
 the following codes?

        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INVALID_ALIGNMENT,               -EIO), -> EINVAL
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED,                   -EIO), -> EACCES
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INVALID_PARTITION_STATE,         -EIO), -> EINVAL
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_OPERATION_DENIED,                -EIO), -> EACCES
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_PROPERTY_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE,     -EIO), -> ERANGE
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFERS,            -EIO), -> ENOBUFS
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_NOT_ACKNOWLEDGED,                -EIO), -> EBUSY
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INVALID_VP_STATE,                -EIO), -> EINVAL
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INVALID_LP_INDEX,                -EIO), -> EINVAL
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_INVALID_REGISTER_VALUE,          -EIO), -> EINVAL
        _STATUS_INFO(HV_STATUS_VTL_ALREADY_ENABLED,             -EIO), -> EBUSY

Nuno, Stas, others, what do you think?

Thanks,
