Did you mean me? :) In case you did - I think we should avoid it 
for new code but changing existing now seems risky. Alexei and Andrii
would know best but quick search of code bases at work reveals some
scripts looking for ENOTSUPP.

Thadeu, what motivated the change?

If we're getting those changes fixes based on checkpatch output maybe 
there is a way to mute the checkpatch warnings when it's not run on a 
diff?
