O-Subject: [RHEL-7.0 qemu-kvm PATCH 20/43] block: Error parameter for open functions
Bugzilla: 1026524
RH-Acked-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

BZ: 1026524

Add an Error ** parameter to bdrv_open, bdrv_file_open and associated
functions to allow more specific error messages.

Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>
(cherry picked from commit 34b5d2c68eb4082c288e70fb99c61af8f7b96fde)

Conflicts:
	block/blkverify.c
	block/vmdk.c
	block/vvfat.c
	blockdev.c
	hw/block/xen_disk.c
	qemu-io.c

All files conflict because the series "Implement reference count for
BlockDriverState" has not yet been backported which "replaces"
bdrv_delete by bdrv_unref.

blockdev.c conflicts because the series "block: drive-backup live backup
command command" has not yet been backported.

qemu-io.c conflicts because the series "Make qemu-io commands available
in the monitor" has not yet been backported (esp. commit 734c3b85c).
