Christoph, I'm assuming you want this reviewed
as a submitted patch.

If we reach EOF this returns 0, but errno is I think
going to be 0.  Do we want to print a "read failed"
message in that case?  Is EOF a failure, or just
a somewhat normal condition?

Also, it may not matter in the calling code (I
did only a quick check) but maybe it would be
better to set bp->b_error here, where the error
really occurred, rather than in libxfs_readbuf().

Other than that, this change looks good to me.
