Wouldn't it be better to return 0 here? -ENOSYS would be fine if the
function returned an error code, but it's really returning a count, and
other "dummy" functions that return data return 0/NULL already. This
would also allow you to just use the value directly in all cases rather
than having to check for a < 0 error case.
