[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/9] Introduce QError

[Luiz Capitulino]

QError is a high-level data type that can be used to store error
information.

Before using it functions usually have to register a new error type,
this is done by adding a new entry in the qerror_type[] table with
the following error information:

1. Code, which should be added to enum QErrorCode first
2. Description, the general error cause
3. Prefix, usually subsystem's name
4. A print function

The prefix and print function are optional. If no print function is
specified the default one will be used, which prints the prefix
before printing the error description.

Note that the default function is very simple and a deep level of
data structure nesting has not been tested.

QError exports the following functions:

- qerror_new(): Create a new 'empty' QError
- qerror_from_va(): Create a new QError from the specified va_list
- qerror_print(): Print the specified QError
