doh. Yes. I noticed and implemented this yesterday and it's in the
submitted syslet code - but i guess i was too tired to remember my own
code - so i added the wrong comments :-/ If you look at the sample
user-space code:

init_atom(req, &req->open_file, __NR_sys_open,
&req->filename_p, &O_RDONLY_var, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
&req->fd, SYSLET_STOP_ON_NEGATIVE, &req->read_file);

the 'STOP_ON_NEGATIVE' acts on that particular atom.

this indeed cleaned up things quite a bit and made the user-space syslet
code alot more straightforward. A return value can still be recovered
and examined (with a different condition and a different jump target)
arbitrary number of times via ret_ptr and via sys_umem_add().
