check the API documentation for this ioctl, I don't think that's the
type of invalid input meant when describing the meaning of EINVAL. If
you feel strongly about it of course it's no big deal, but I think
EINVAL is so overloaded anyway that telling the user something more
specific would be great, but I'll leave it up to you.
