Oh is that deprecated? I had no clue :-/
Can you point to some rationale about this so I'm not
totally misguided in my world..?

Seems OK if the deprecation is ongoing.
Tony can I have your ACK?

Grant is just going to *not* love this type of patches replacing
nullchecks with IS_ERR() stuff all over the kernel.

We had a discussion whether the compiler can be made to
annotate and typecheck pointers to avoid doing mistakes with
pointers containing error codes like this. (Vague but you maybe
know what I'm after.)
