Guess what, that's what I did initially.
But then when returning EINVAL we would arguably introduce a regression
(as suddenly we'll be returning a different error code as previously).
So with this patch we're backwards compatible.

But that's really a quesion for Jakub: what's more appropriate here?
Return a new error code (which describes the situation better) or stick
with the original one (and retain compability)?

Cheers,

Hannes
