I wonder whether we need an update of the user structure following a
fault, like how much was copied etc. In case of an error, some tags were
copied and the VMM may want to skip the page before continuing. But here
there's no such information provided.

On the ptrace interface, we return 0 on the syscall if any bytes were
copied and update iov_len to such number. Maybe you want to still return
an error here but updating copy_tags.length would be nice (and, of
course, a copy_to_user() back).
