I don't see anything to be refined here, it's a simple bug fix - code
assumes noiommu mode support is always available, when it might not
be the case on older kernels.
As a bug fix, the title must start with "fix" and a tag "Fixes:"
must be added to help with backport.
At the same time, the explanation of the bug must be added in
the commit log please.
Thanks
It's not really a bug fix since it does not change the semantic of the
function but just adds nicer error handling.
Well, as far as i can tell, it *does* change semantics - previously, if
noiommu mode file was not found, we returned -1, now we return 0.
