The callbacks should never be expected to set a libvirt
error, as they are implemented by code that is outside
libvirt. The intention was really that the callbacks set
an errno value on error, since that's all you have access
to from application level impl....

For sanity we should set 'errno = 0' here.

...then this should do
if (errno == 0) {
errno = EIO;
}
virReportSystemError(errno, ....)
