Load RAX with -EFAULT prior to making a Hyper-V hypercall so that tests can't get false negatives due to the compiler coincidentally loading the "right" value into RAX, i.e. to ensure that _KVM_ and not the compiler is correctly clearing RAX on a successful hypercall. Note, initializing *hv_status (in C code) to -EFAULT is not sufficient to avoid false negatives, as the compiler can still "clobber" RAX and thus load garbage into *hv_status if the hypercall faults (or if KVM doesn't set RAX).
