I don't believe it really can. However kvm_smccc_call_handler() calls
kvm_psci_call() and that has a documentation block which states:

* This function returns: > 0 (success), 0 (success but exit to user
* space), and < 0 (errors)
*
* Errors:
* -EINVAL: Unrecognized PSCI function

But I can't actually see code which returns the negative value...

I'll add a comment explaining we don't expect negative codes. And I'll
expand ~0UL to SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED which is what it should be.
