Well...  Turn that one into
	* try and convince XFS folks that they want to use negative numbers
for error values (will be tricky - they really don't like to diverge from
IRIX codebase)
	* ditto for JFS - again, a bunch of functions use positive error
values.
	* oprofile init on alpha should be returning negative in case of
failure to follow the common conventions.

AFAICS that's it.
