We could certainly add more error codes but doing so only makes sense when
there is a hypervisor that can report them. Current qemu has three io-status
values: ok, nospace, failed and these values are mapped to
VIR_DOMAIN_IOERROR_NONE, VIR_DOMAIN_IOERROR_NO_SPACE, and
VIR_DOMAIN_IOERROR_UNSPEC. I believe that EIO would be reported as "failed" by
qemu and thus VIR_DOMAIN_IOERROR_UNSPEC by libvirt. It's possible that
VIR_DOMAIN_IOERROR_UNSPEC is not the best name, though :-)
