Yes this seems to have effects on user space, though hopefully nothing
really bad as the error codes from the permission checks is EACCESS or
EPERM, other than the ENOMEM and similar.

I'll add it, the final list will be the original author, Daniel as he
touched it last and mine. The code hasn't evolved over the revisions so
adding everybody who submitted it at some point does not seem adequate.
Still I will also add a text to the changelog linking to the latest v5
series and mentioning people who handled the series in the past to give
credit.
