The convention we follow in drm is to record the version of the patch and
what changed in that version.

Generally I am ok with this version of the patch but still have a couple of
questions.

So we have the choice of either setting the request status here as I was
suggesting earlier, e.g. as follows:

	#define   GUC_HXG_TYPE_REQUEST_CANCELED        4u // unused value

	if (!ct_enabled)
		req->status = GUC_HXG_TYPE_REQUEST_CANCELED;

We would return 0 in this case and would check for the req->status value
above where needed.

Or we can return -ECANCELED. I don't know if -ECANCELED is the right value
to return but whatever we return will have to be unique (ununsed elsewhere)
since we are relying on the return value. -ECANCELED is unique so that part
is ok.

Do other reviewers have a preference whether we should set req->status or
return a unique return value?

I am wondering why we even have this print and should we just delete it or
convert it to CT_DEBUG(). The reason is that only error prints closest to
where the actual error occurs are useful since they pin-point the error
clearly. This to be seems to be a "second" print from a higher level
function which does not seem particularly useful.
