My immediate reaction is not to add it. It's pretty clearly not in
posix, unlikely to be added, and sounds unprofessional.
Poul-Henning added it to differentiate between potentially valid but not in this combo (EINVAL or EFAULT) and args that are clearly programming errors (EDOOFUS), but in code that couldn't just panic.
It seems like it would be used in cases where there is a KASSERT in the
non-DIAGNOSTIC case. I might just map it to EFAULT or EINVAL.
Not a terrible choice.
