Yes, this is nice.  Maybe -ENODEV.

Also, a minimal patch for Ubuntu would probably be:

@@ -2850,7 +2851,7 @@ static __init int setup_vmcs_config(struct vmcs_config *vmcs_conf)
 		      vmx_capability.ept, vmx_capability.vpid);
 	}
 
-	min = 0;
+	min = VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS;
 #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
 	min |= VM_EXIT_HOST_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE;
 #endif

but I don't think it's a good idea to add it to stable kernels.
