And what if I've more than one write() on this descriptor and first
write() check works fine, how can I check other writes()?

Really, it is not worth new device.

If you want to use something like this, it should go into /usr/src/tools/
not into /usr/src/sys/ and it should gives us much more than that.
For example in gnop(8) I'm allowing to specify a failure probability,
so you can test failures handling much better (not only first one).

Are there any other places where it could be helpful?
