I should have known that, guess I have a lazy streak in me.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted typo fixes, and error messages described.

First segment fixes a typo
Second segment fixes a bug where oob data may be copied incorrectly.
Third segment adds an error message when exiting due to write protect.
Forth segment fixes a bug where oobavail may be set incorrectly.

All segments are independent and may be accepted or rejected as deemed appropriate.
Do they need to be separate patches?
