Then you could call that one:

#define SNP_GUEST_REQ_ERR_NUM_PAGES       BIT_ULL(32)

or so, to mean what exactly that error is. Because when you read the
code, it is more "self-descriptive" this way:

	...
	ghcb->save.sw_exit_info_2 == SNP_GUEST_REQ_ERR_NUM_PAGES)
		input->data_npages = ghcb_get_rbx(ghcb);

You can simply define a separate one here called ...INVALID_LENGTH.

Thx.
