The function's name makes me expect that something else is done with os_errno
other than appending the strerror() string to the user message, but I can't
suggest anything better (and allows for storing errno in the Error object in
the future if we want to).

Why something "else"? :)

Who knows... :)

What I meant is that, it's not clear from the function's name how os_errno
is used. Actually, it gives the impression you're storing errno, but I might
be biased :)

But again, I don't have any better suggestions.

A bit long for my taste, but here goes anyway: error_set_with_errno()

Duplicates error_set() code without need.  How about:

void error_set_errno(Error **errp, int os_errno, ErrorClass err_class,
                     const char *fmt, ...)
{
    char *msg;

    va_start(ap, fmt);
    msg = g_strdup_printf(fmt, ap);
    va_end(ap);
    if (os_errno) {
        error_set(errp, err_class, "%s: %s", msg, strerror(os_errno));
    } else {
        error_set(errp, err_class, "%s", msg);
    }
    g_free(msg);
}

Sketch, not even compile-tested.

Or the other way round, implement error_set() in terms of the more
general error_set_errno():

void error_set(Error **errp, ErrorClass err_class, const char *fmt, ...)
{
    error_set(errp, err_class, 0, fmt, ...);
}

Except that's not C; real code needs verror_set_errno().

As usual, every variadic function sooner or later needs a buddy that
takes a va_list instead.

Indeed... lazy me.

Added to my todo list.
