FWIW, we might want to only update cap if the hypercall has been
successful, otherwise there's no guarantee of what's in the buffer, so
I would recommend to put the updating of cap in an else branch.

Anyway, not a strong opinion, as I think in practice even if the
hypercall fails it wouldn't corrupt the data in the buffer, but seems
more robust.

Thanks, Roger.
