New error code should be run past linux-kernel and linux-api.

I'd also love to see something catching these so that they don't
leak to userspace.

In fact I'd really prefer to not overload the errno space with something
so block specific if possible - we use very few errnos in the
bio/request errors, and cleaning them up to use a block-specific error
type would be the best solution.
