virNetError() is what my RPC series of patches uses throughout.
Also it will change VIR_FROM_REMOTE to VIR_FROM_RPC

Other files still use it, but it will be gone with the
RPC rewrite.

Opps, yes missed one.

I'm not sure what you mean here ?  If  rv == 0, then 'ret' is expected
to have the data present, and the caller will use xdr_free() to release
it. If rv == -1, then 'ret' is expected to have not been initialized,
hence this code must free that buffer.

Yes, nice bug :-)

I didn't mean to touch any of these SASL functions, since
they're rather special. Will remove those chunks.
