This is what'd be needed, your approach here is a bit of a hack and
leaves some values unrepresentable if they overlap with errnos which
obviously has issues if someone has a need for those values.  Ground is
to a large extent somewhat arbatrary anyway and some systems do just
redefine it as part of their normal operation (eg, VMID based audio
systems) so this wouldn't be a huge departure.
