It's not pointless. It makes the log useful without having to look at /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h. And it will only be done once in libvirtd lifetime so it's not really wasting CPU cycles or something.
Theoretically you do not need to: if you install 'moreutils', you get the useful 'errno' utility to map from errno numbers to descriptions (even localized ones), and vice-versa. The only issue is that this works only for the same OS+architecture combination, since values of errno changes between OSes and architectures in the same OS. -- Pino Toscano
