Let's try this again: did you know that ksize could fail depending on
kernel configuration? Most of us would answer no. That suggests the API

I think you misunderstood my argument.  I never suggested changing
the existing ksize interface to return an error onto unsuspecting
users.  I suggested creating a new interface that is explicitly
designed to return an error if the underlying implementation
is unable to support this.
