Subject: [PATCH 33/35] KVM: Allow internal errors reported to userspace to carry extra data

Usually userspace will freeze the guest so we can inspect it, but some
internal state is not available.  Add extra data to internal error
reporting so we can expose it to the debugger.  Extra data is specific
to the suberror.
