Yes, and indeed has to be checked by the caller, rather than hidden, since
it's an odd EAGAIN-with-side-effects.

Not really hypercalls as such.

Nah, that doesn't return EINTR. EAGAIN/EINTR is used a lot in Xen's mm.c,
but shouldn't leak into hypercall return values. That'd be a
non-backward-compatible bug.
