Great minds think alike ;-)

I agree that it _should_ be -EINVAL, but I just don't think it's worth
the possibility of breaking (stupid) userspace that was doing something
like:

	for (i = 0; i < max_cpuid_size; i++) {
		cpuid.nent = i;

		r = ioctl(fd, KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID, &cpuid);
		if (!r || r != -E2BIG)
			break;
	}
