I've argued in the past that we have lots of error_report() callers
using strerror(), and may want to add an error_report_errno() (similar
to error_setg_errno()); this just adds to the list of things that would
benefit.  But such a conversion would be a separate BiteSized task, and
doesn't invalidate your patch.
