An honorable goal.

Li Zefan - would you be interested in generating a patch
that fails -EINVAL for inputs outside the range of [-1 ... N]
for whatever small positive N the kernel recognizes?

This seems like a minor enough difference that I for one
don't have any problem with the current code, remapping
all negative inputs to -1, going in, and then a follow-on
patch changing that going in afterward.

Of course, if you or Seto-san prefer the current behaviour,
it would be easy to persuade me to agree.
