Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!

I see where I did my thinko. In v3 we have more ENODEV due to the fact
that we test the pointers first (qpair, fpcort). If either of them is
invalid we get the ENODEV. Actually, it's makes more sense and is likely
to be 'more correct'.

Anyway, let me update the commit log.

Thanks a lot!
