So the original bug was that rmem_read() is returning positive values
on success instead of zero[1]. That started a discussion about partial
reads which resulted in changing the API to support partial reads[2].
That patchset broke the build. This patchset is trying to fix the
build breakage.

The bug in rmem_read() is still not fixed. That needs to be fixed as
a stand alone patch. We can discuss re-writing the API separately.
I agree with Dan, Lets fix the rmem_read and start working on the API rework in parallel.

Am happy to pick the [1].
