First of all I want to state that I am mostly concentrating on patches 1-50 to get
those merged first. The actual delete_bufs patches will need more review from me.
That said, while I do not have a very strong opinion on this, I do feel it is better
to be strict about this. It can always be relaxed later. Deleting buffers is an
important operation, and userspace should know what it is doing. Deleting non-existing
buffers seems iffy to me.
