Hmm, I don't think any of the cases where there is an error actually
end up returning c_retval, its always python wrapped contents of
something passed by reference, so I don't know how that would work.

The patch below seems to do the job: I tested it with the autostart
function on a xen domain (which errors as its not supported) and it
now correctly throws an exception from the python bindings.

Thanks,
Cole
