[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/domctl: Improve XEN_DOMCTL_hypercall_init error handling



EACCES cannot be distinguished against an incorrect DOMCTL_INTERFACE_VERSION,
and will cause an incorrect "need to rebuild the user-space tool set?" message
from libxc.  EINVAL is a perfectly reasonable alternative.

On the libxc side, put the useful piece of information in the error message,
rathe than the -1 from do_domctl().
