I have been wondering about the error return codes here, and if they should be
converted to standard Linux error codes. For example, I just hit error -1003
with a driver I am working on. This translates to EC_RES_INVALID_PARAM, or,
in Linux terms, -EINVAL. I think it would be better to use standard error
codes, especially since some of the errors are logged.
