From: Halil Pasic <pasic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
FLIC behavior deviates from the API documentation in reporting EINVAL
instead of ENXIO for KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR when the group
or attribute is unknown/unsupported. Unfortunately this can not be fixed
for historical reasons. Let us at least have it documented.
