As Peff pointed out in the earlier round of the same patch,
replacing read() with xread() here will affect what errno's can be
possible after the function returns. The checks affected by this
change must also be updated, either in the same patch, or a
follow-up patch in the same series. Otherwise we _will_ forget to
clean them up.
