     In linux 2.1, the address returned by create module point in
     kernel space which is now mapped at the top of user space (at
     0xc0000000 on i386). This looks like a negative number for a
     long. The normal syscall macro of linux 2.0 (and all libc compile
     with linux 2.0 or below) consider that the return value is a
     negative number and consider it is an error number (A kernel
     convention, return value are positive or negative, indicating the
     error number).

     By checking the value of errno, we know if we have been fooled by
     the syscall2 macro and we fix it.  */
