They are defined in include/uapi/linux/kvm_para.h

#define KVM_ENOSYS        1000
#define KVM_EFAULT        EFAULT /* 14 */
#define KVM_EINVAL        EINVAL /* 22 */
#define KVM_E2BIG        E2BIG /* 7 */
#define KVM_EPERM        EPERM /* 1*/
#define KVM_EOPNOTSUPP        95

Linux however does not expect the hypercall to fail for SEV/SEV-ES; and
it will terminate the guest if the PSC operation fails for SEV-SNP.  So
it's best for userspace if the hypercall always succeeds. :)

Yes, definitely.
