No, the big immediate benefit of allowing "return -EINVAL" etc is
simply legibility and error avoidance.
Well, I can tweak the last patch to return -EINVAL from dma_mapping_error
instead of the old 1 is as bool true.  The callers should all be fine,
although I'd have to audit them.  Still wouldn't help with being able to
return different errors.
Any opinions?  I'd really like to make some forward progress on this
series.
