I'm not sure whether this is the way to go. I mainly dislike the size
of the patch (and the fact that it mixes a fix and a change of function
signature).

Can we instead choose a mapping for incorrect length, and defer a
possible rework?

(Another idea would be to have the callback prepare the scsw via helper
functions. We'd just keep -EAGAIN to keep processing a chain and 0 to
stop.)

Confused. If it is suppressed, there should not be an error, no?
