Please commit this for 2.28.

I'd like to see as many kernel wrappers in each release as possible.

The ABI/API was designed by the kernel developers, and I trust their
review.

In this case the discussion of emulation can continue without impacting
the ABI/API. Though it has an impact on what applications expect, all
such applications should be diligently checking error returns.
