Yeah, I'd like to do like this. Will arrange patch and post a new
version. Sorry about the mail bomb to CCed people.

Yet I also would like to hear any suggestion from people who intend to
improve. Discussions make me know more the status of errno than before.

Thank you all for sharing.

We header files to put errno. Only changing in kernel may cause
difference between it and userspace. I will list each returned value in
code comment and tell what they are meaning in this function, that could
be helpful. Thanks.
