This path has never previously had error checking.

The set-cpu-policy hypercall, in principle, returns a triple of (leaf,
subleaf, msr) to try and help the caller fractionally more than just
getting EINVAL, but doesn't actually fail yet for interesting reasons.

My plan was only to wire up the error handling with the new interface,
which requires plumbing the extra failure information through into
suitable locations, and ideally also looking up the offending values to
render into error messages.
