I think it would make sense to return -ENOBUFS in this case, as its already
listed in the sendto() man page, and the description matches the error because
the command could succeed if retried.
I ran into a somewhat related issue on a 2.2.16 system, where I had an app that
was calling sendto() on 217000 packets/sec, even though the wire could only
handle about 127000 packets/sec. I got no errors at all in sendto, even though
over a third of the packets were not actually being sent.
