About the error code:

The ioctl(2) man page documents ENOTTY as "The specified request does not apply
to this kind of object".  It does not document EACCES.  EACCES would be slightly
more appropriate semantically, but existing programs might be more well-equipped
to handle ENOTTY.

Do you think we should return ENOTTY here?
