It was intended to do exactly what the KernelJanitor TODO and kj.pl script pointed out, but aparently there's more to it than that. (BTW it just says "sed s/return EWHATEVER/return -EWHATEVER/") Discouraging people with foul language isn't the best way to get more developers, this is only my first try.
