   Building syscall return values.

/* Make a SysRes value from an syscall return value.  This is
   Linux-specific.

   From:
   http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/
   linux/i386/sysdep.h?
   rev=1.28&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc

   Linux uses a negative return value to indicate syscall errors,
   unlike most Unices, which use the condition codes' carry flag.

   Since version 2.1 the return value of a system call might be
   negative even if the call succeeded.  E.g., the 'lseek' system call
   might return a large offset.  Therefore we must not anymore test
   for < 0, but test for a real error by making sure the value in %eax
   is a real error number.  Linus said he will make sure the no
   syscall returns a value in -1 .. -4095 as a valid result so we can
   safely test with -4095.
