Currently the helpers for accessing 4 or 8 byte values over the CPP bus return the length of IO on success. If the IO was short caller has to deal with error handling. The short IO for 4/8B values is completely impractical. Make the helpers return an error if full access was not possible. Fix the few places which are actually dealing with errors correctly, most call sites already only deal with negative return codes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
