Does it return EOPNOTSUPP or something similar if something not
supported is asked for?
Fallbacking, or capability querying if you will, may be the way to do it
without having to maintain an userland table for what is possible,
leaving it to the kernel drivers for each arch.
We do it now for sample_id_all and some other newer stuff, maybe we can
do it for this as well.
