Should you use a switch statement here, instead of open coding all
possible enum values?  But that's cosmetic.

More importantly, I think this function should return an int, whose
value is the value of vfprintf.  On the monitor_vfprintf arm, it could
return 0 for now (or, you could unravel THAT problem and fix
monitor_vfprintf to return an output count, but that sounds like a
bigger task).

This function should also return int.

And by fixing the underlying function to return int, you could finally
get rid of this TODO.

Given that the int return problem is pre-existing, and probably deserves
its own series, I'm fine with taking this patch as-is.
