How do you plan to check the return value here?
What's the difference between a register value of 0xffffffe9 and
returning -EINVAL?

I don't see anyone checking the return value. Better just dereference
the pointer and the kernel will produce a nice backtrace.

Same should be done for all read and write variants.
