The patch does a lot more than this! It also adds lots of handling of
previously-ignored errors.
And it thereby introduces possible back-compatibility issues. Someone
who is doing "echo 42foo > wherever" will now get an error, whereas
they previously got 42.
So hm. Probably a good patch and I'll stick it in -mm for testing, but
this should go upstream via tiwai, please.
