Hmm, does it? It passed __FUNCTION__ to virReportErrorHelper, but
doesn't seem to explicitly include it in the error.

 Any error message that lists its own name (whether explicitly

In general I agree, but I think there is an argument for including it in
these functions, since most of the non-OOM errors are likely the result
of misusing the internal API, so being able to easily identify the
culprit can help. Otherwise this error is simply 'Invalid parameter'.

I've dropped that first hunk and made the change you recommend here.
Pushed now.
