Good point.

Yeah, I just added that check to my local version:
/* Mask off all O_ flags as we only want to read from the file */
flags &= ~(VALID_OPEN_FLAGS);
flags |= O_RDONLY | O_LARGEFILE;
> If buffer is too small to fit the whole file, return error.
Why? What's wrong with just returning the bytes asked for? If someone
only wants 5 bytes from the front of a file, it should be fine to give
that to them, right?

No, we can't "match file size" as sysfs files do not really have a sane
"size". So I don't want to loop at all here, one-shot, that's all you
get :)
Let me actually do this and try it out for real.
/me has no idea what he is getting himself into...
