I had a closer look at the various bdrv_open() methods, and how they're
used.  Turns out that we already assume they return 0/-errno, yet the
following methods return -1 on some or all errors:

    bochs_open 
    cloop_open
    dmg_open
    parallels_open
    vdi_open
    vpc_open

They all need to be fixed.  I appreciate you fixing vdi_open().

However, you "improve" bochs_open() from completely and obviously broken
(return -1 on error always) to half-broken (return -1 on some errors,
and -errno on others).  I don't like that.

Fixing it up doesn't look hard to me (sketch appended).  Could you do
that for us?

If not, I'd prefer to leave bochs_open() completely and obviously
broken.

Kevin, Stefan, maybe you can take patches 1, 3, 4 and 5 from
this series, so I don't have to resend them.

I'll split patch 2 in order to realize Markus' suggestion.
Or you take it as it is, resulting in half-broken (instead of
full broken) xxx_open functions, and patches which fix the
remaining half can be applied on top.

FYI, Kevin applied them all, and cleaned up the mess on top ([PATCH v2
0/6] bdrv_open() error return fixes).
