I wonder if this is a bit too generic. Wouldn't a simple:
	bool is_save_op (or some more clever name)
be sufficient? At least this is actually all we need, if I understand
the code correctly.
But it's up to you, I can see advantages for both approaches.

Did you deliberately remove this fallback from the new code below?

Is this change to the algorithm acceptable? Formerly we returned 0 on
finding a drv->load pointer to be NULL, now it's -ENODEV, plus we try to
find other sources first.
Or is that solved later somehow with the env_has_init bitmap?

Same as for env_load().
