Thanks, I added something. Looks like we can't get rid of it, sparc
and um can return error. Oh well.

Hmm, I guess you could go either way. A few do have no-op functions so I 
think that qualifies them if the rule is less ambiguous and we provide 
no-op for functions unless it does not make any sense (e.g., switch_mm 
for MMU). More importantly I already have the code written and am lazy  
:)

Thanks,
Nick
