Subject[PATCH v3 1/3] xen/privcmd: return -ENOTTY for unimplemented IOCTLs
Date
The code sets the default return code to -ENOSYS but then overrides this
to -EINVAL in the switch() statement's default case, which is clearly
silly.

This patch removes the override and sets the default return code to
-ENOTTY, which is the conventional return for an unimplemented ioctl.
