Thanks for the suggestion.

In this series the HGATP mode is configured via KVM_ENABLE_CAP at the VM level
(kvm_vm_ioctl_enable_cap), not via KVM_SET_ONE_REG. Updating the KVM_SET_ONE_REG
-EBUSY description might be misleading since it is vCPU one-reg specific and not
directly related to this series.
