I notice that s->pagetable[index] is left modified when the function
fails.  But this is a larger issue and could be addressed in a later
patch which also looks at the other failure cases in this function.

Error handling in vpc needs some work anyway. For example, almost all
places return -1 instead of the real error number. Probably even the
order of operations is unsafe, didn't check that yet.

As a note, as part of QEMU Test Day(s) I tested VHD images (cf. Wiki) -
booting, installing software, etc. and haven't encountered any problem.
Doesn't mean it's entirely safe though, obviously.
