Given we fail the system call if size is not exactly the right value
we should probably drop it here.

The ioctl to get the FD can someday specify the format of the fault
messages if we need to upgrade. If we want to change it down the road
then the old FD will be exactly as it is now, and the user will
request a new format FD that only works in whatever the new way is.

Okay, sure!
