      rc = virFileWriteStr(keypath, value, 0);
      if (rc<  0) {
-        DEBUG("Failed to write value '%s': %m", value);
          rc = -errno;

Should we go one step further and guarantee that VIR_DEBUG() does not
modify errno?

Yeah, that's just going a step further than what I did in commit 17e19add "Preserve errno across calls to error reporting functions & VIR_FREE". Since there are cases when we want to report an error, but not count it as an "error", that makes sense (also it makes a lot of sense that instrumentation for debugging should be as non-intrusive as possible).
