  I found out that using VIR_ERR_NO_XEN here isn't a good idea, first
it's not that Xen hypervisoris not found but that this specific call is not
available, and second virsh filter out automatically VIR_ERR_NO_XEN. It
is better to use VIR_ERR_XEN_CALL , you then get:

[root@test2 src]# ./virsh freecell 1
libvir: Xen error : failed Xen syscall xenHypervisorNodeGetCellsFreeMemory: unsupported in sys interface < 4 0

[root@test2 src]# echo $?
1
[root@test2 src]#
 Which is a correct error report IMHO.

Ok, that sounds good.
