I think documenting the return code is better done in either the header file
or in a commend preceding the implementation instead of the commit message?
Maybe just a generic comment for *_gently is good enough, maybe even no
comment. So the commit is fine, too. I dunno.

That's what I figured. Do we also need to mention that in the preceding patch
for packet_flush_gently ?
