Can we use distinct negative retvals in each case so that it is clear

userspace where it fails, *if* it fails?
Good idea, I think maybe ERANGE.
For those two, right?

        /* If there isn't space for a token */
        if (set_tok && size < 8)
                return -EINVAL;

        if (addr && addr <= 0xFFFFFFFF)
                return -EINVAL;

They are kinda range-checking of sorts. A wider range but still
similar...
