The reason for the u64 is that the Extended Guest Request can return a 
firmware error or a hypervisor error. To distinguish between the two, a 
firmware error is contained in the lower 32-bits, while a hypervisor error 
is contained in the upper 32-bits (e.g. when not enough contiguous pages 
of memory have been supplied).
