If it isn't needed

In fact, irrespective of the needs of the future callers lets go back to
the old semantics of errnoval for now, since it should be a quick and
easy patch, I think.

Then if it is actually needed we can sort out the propagation of the
number of bytes read in a new patch as part of that series.


Some indication of whether the number of bytes requested were actually read is needed. Consider reading a struct of size X off the wire. The caller needs to know whether the number of bytes requested was actually was read or if they got an early EOF.

But in the meantime I will send a patch to fix restore the original behavior for errnoval.
