This set adds a function to help us report more rich error messages, where
appropriate. I've added in a couple that I think are critical, but would
like to hear suggestions for where else we need to include the libvirt
error in the CIM status.

New subject: [PATCH 1 of 2] Add vir_set_status() to misc_util.h
# HG changeset patch
# User Dan Smith <danms(a)us.ibm.com>
# Date 1227550535 28800
# Node ID af1c552b33cb473ed7ce52ddb6eb97b39b69b001

Add vir_set_status() to misc_util.h
This function allows you to set the message of a CMPIStatus object to something
like what perror() would do. You give it an error message and (optionally)
a virConnectPtr object and it formats it as "YourError: VirtError". It
attempts to extract the last error from the connection pointer if supplied,
otherwise it takes the last error in the global library pointer.
I tried to make this function as foolproof as possible, providing no real
error paths. It attempts to get as much info as it can into the status
object, despite any failures along the way. Since this is usually to be used
for error handling scenarios, this seems like the only sane approach.

New subject: [PATCH 2 of 2] Make DefineSystem() and RequestStateChange() provide rich errors
# HG changeset patch

# Date 1227551693 28800

Make DefineSystem() and RequestStateChange() provide rich errors
This patch adds use of the new virt_set_status() function to a couple of
providers where it's likely to be the most effective. A DefineSystem()
call can fail for a variety of reasons, as can an attempt to change the
state of a guest. By pulling in the libvirt error message, we're much more
likely to be able to debug the issue from just the error message the CIM
client gets.

Very useful addition. +1
I think this could be used in device_parsing.c:
_change_device()
change_memory()
change_vcpus()
Didn't we discuss using virGetLastError() / virConnGetLastError(conn) to
determine whether we should return an error that indicates a failure
versus a error that indicates the given action isn't supported by libvirt?

Yeah, agreed.

Well, it will certainly help a human client make that sort of
determination. However, I'm not sure it will be useful in practice
since you wouldn't expect the client to parse the error string.
