The current scheme used by the linux kernel for error return codes from a syscall allows only 4095 error codes (0xFFF...F001 through 0xFFF...FFFF) because any other bit pattern could be a legitimate non-error return value.

Good point. Thats probably still enough to distinguish all the error points for a particular syscall, but it is more of a squeeze.
