    I think any one error is good enough. Especially that EPERM and
    ENOENT would be returned from open(), not write().

    Oh, come on: the code is already implemented by someone and requires
    zero maintenance. I mean, when was the last time someone touched
    the implementation of /dev/null? BTW, probably an easy
    implementation would be to just add one more minor to the null
    driver.
