Hmm, maybe this one is more correct as EINVAL.  In the existing use
cases the structure associated with the feature is a fixed size, so
it's not a matter that we down have space for a return like
HOT_RESET_INFO, it's simply invalid arguments by the caller.  I guess
keep this one as EINVAL, but EOPNOTSUPP seems useful for the previous.
Thanks,
