I am not convinced this is the correct solution. At least the way we
used this interface, it isn't meant to ever fail.  I also didn't look
into exactly why we depend an ENOSPC return. That sounds fragile to me,
especially for a public interface.

Obviously it makes the WARN go away, and we have only one other user of
the interface, so it's correct.

So if both of you are happy, I won't stand in the way.
