Have you checked that spufs still builds? I would guess that you need
to do the same interface changes there.

Also, Christoph has recently posted a suggestion for how to improve
the interface to allow the 'get' operation to return an error:

I'd suggest consolidating the two changes in order to avoid merge
conflicts.
