I like this patch, but it is going to conflict with a patch I'm
nearly done testing and plan to send tomorrow that unifies the
sysreg handling for 32 and 64 bit KVM/ARM. Part of what that
involves is using a single kvm_arm_reset_vcpu() in kvm.c rather
than different 32 and 64 bit versions. So you should probably
respin this patch on top of that one.

Shouldn't this be strerror(-ret) ?
