/**
 * Error code layout.
 *
 * Currently we try to keep all error codes within the negative space of 16
 * bytes signed integers to support all platforms (-0x0000 - -0x8000). In
 * addition we'd like to give two layers of information on the error if
 * possible.
 *
 * For that purpose the error codes are segmented in the following manner:
 *
 * 16 bit error code bit-segmentation
 *
 * 1 bit  - Sign bit
 * 3 bits - High level module ID
 * 5 bits - Module-dependent error code
 * 7 bits - Low level module errors
 *
 * For historical reasons, low-level error codes are divided in even and odd,
 * even codes were assigned first, and -1 is reserved for other errors.
 *
 * Low-level module errors (0x0002-0x007E, 0x0003-0x007F)
