I've discussed with Yiyang about this last week.  I also tend to avoid
our own errno.

The main reason is that Rust errno misses EUCLEAN error number. TBH, I
don't know why not just introduces all kernel supported errnos for Rust
in one shot.

I guess just because no Rust user uses other errno?  But for errno
cases, I think it's odd for users to add their own errno.
