#1413800 — [PATCH v3 03/30] staging: unisys: iovmcall_gnuc.h change -1 return values

From: Erik Arfvidson <erik.arfvidson@unisys.com>

This patch changes the vague -1 return values to -EPERM.
This operation is not supported is a good alternative
to -1 because the return is basically telling the caller
that the processor doesn't support vmcall operations.
