SubjectRe: [PATCH v12 43/46] virt: Add SEV-SNP guest driver
Apologies for the necropost, but I noticed strange behavior testing my
own Golang-based wrapper around the /dev/sev-guest driver.

The fw_err is written back regardless of rc, so since err is
uninitialized, you can end up with garbage written back. I've worked
around this by only caring about fw_err when the result is -EIO, but
thought that I should bring this up.
