IO call failures should return an errno instead of -1
Yeah, it really should but it's kind of tricky for the reads as we're returning errors in band and we could have 32 bit registers (I'm guessing the platform versions already do) so we lose. :/ Not sure what the best thing to do there is, changing to return the errors out of band for reads is more painful than I care to contemplate.
Oh, I agree it would be painful for a rework here. But why did you suggest this sort of update in a previous patch comment ? (Unless I misunderstood).
