Hmm... I would like actually to get this being consistent. The documentation
explicitly says that in-kernel APIs uses Linux error code and not POSIX one.

This check opens a Pandora box.

FWIW, it just like dozen or so drivers that needs to be fixed, I prefer to
have them being moved to ENOTSUPP, rather this patch.
