This returns the condition code, but no caller seems to check it
(instead, they look at header.rc, which is presumably only set if the
instruction executed successfully in some way?)

Looking at the kernel, it retries for cc > 1 (presumably busy
conditions), and cc != 0 seems to be considered a failure. Do we want
to look at the cc here as well?
