-EPERM?? Interesting... strace(1) may come handy...

$ git grep EPERM kvm/queue arch/x86/kvm/ 
kvm/queue:arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:           ret = -KVM_EPERM;
(just this one)

kvm_emulate_hypercall():
...

07708c4af1346 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c (Jan Kiszka                 2009-08-03 18:43:28 +0200  8434)           ret = -KVM_EPERM;

...

Doesn't seem we have any updates here, curious what your bisection will
point us to.
