Oops!, write() seems to return ENODEV that man page does not have.
In exfat_map_cluster, it was necessary to distinguish and return error
values, but now that explicitly differentiated error messages will be
printed. So, why not return EIO again? It seem appropriate to return EIO
instead of ENODEV from the read/write syscall.

Sounds good!
