This will not compile.

I am not against this change, but to make it even more complete, we
should turn those functions into void. I mean, virCPUx86DataAdd()
returns nothing else than 0? Perfect! Let's make it return nothing then.

And it can be done in batches. From the list of functions the tool
identified, each function can be 'fixed' in a separate patch. For
instance, virCPUx86DataAdd() can be turned to void and all places where
its retval is checked can be fixed too. This is going to be one patch.
the second then fixes another function and places where it's called, and
so on.

Surely, libxl is not the only place where virCPUx86DataAdd() is called
and where it has its retval checked.
