Ok, try this on for size.  Even though the gcc manual says alias doesn't work
on all target machines, I assume linux arches are ok since alias is used
in the core module init & exit code...

Also - is it ok to alias a function with one signature to a function with
another signature?

Note... I also realized that there are a couple of file ops which expect unsigned
returns... poll and get_unmapped_area.  The latter seems to be handled just fine by
the caller, which does IS_ERR gyrations to check for errnos.

I'm not so sure about poll; some callers put the return in a signed int, others
unsigned, not sure anyone is really checking for -EIO... I think this op should
probably be returning POLLERR, so that's what I've got in this version.

Anyway, here's the latest stab at this:
