The above definition doesn't seem to be used anywhere, but seeing
it begs the question to me of what type it is expected to have.
If it were used, where would it be used in an 8 bit field?

There might be nothing fundamentally wrong with this, but I
dislike seeing negative values assigned to enums.

These error values are returned from the hypervisor, and it
looks like they'll likely truncated from a 64-bit unsigned
value.  Are they *sent* from the hypervisor as 64-bit signed
values?  Or 32-bit signed values?  (In that case, the

I just wonder if you can use 0xffffffff or 0xffff for example
rather than -1, depending on the actual value that gets passed.

Since you're remapping a gh_error, I would have named this
gh_error_remap().
