   Linux:

         err holds the error code, and res is zero.

   AIX:
      res is the POSIX result of the syscall.
      err is the corresponding errno value.
      isError === err==0

      Unlike on Linux, it is possible for 'err' to be nonzero (thus an
      error has occurred), nevertheless 'res' is also nonzero.  AIX
      userspace does not appear to consistently inspect 'err' to
      determine whether or not an error has occurred.  For example,
      sys_open() will return -1 for 'val' if a file cannot be opened,
      as well as the relevant errno value in 'err', but AIX userspace
      then consults 'val' to figure out if the syscall failed, rather
      than looking at 'err'.  Hence we need to represent them both.
