In the end kvm_io_bus_write_cookie only returns -EOPNOTSUPP if there is
an error, so it works.  But if this were to change, the code would
break.  That's why I suggested testing "ret >= 0" rather than "ret !=
-EOPNOTSUPP".  But in the end it is the same.

True but somewhat misplaced, it is basically saying the same thing as
the "Return cookie in gpr 2" comment just above.

Anyhow, these are very small details.  I changed kvm_io_bus_write to
kvm_io_bus_write_cookie in the comment and applied the patches to kvm-queue.
