I am a bit confused now wrt [PATCH v2 03/11] vfio: Make
VFIOIOMMUClass::attach_device() and its wrapper return bool & co

Shall we return a bool or a int?

Looking at ./include/qapi/error.h I have not found any stringent requirement

 * - Whenever practical, also return a value that indicates success /
 *   failure.  This can make the error checking more concise, and can
 *   avoid useless error object creation and destruction.  Note that
 *   we still have many functions returning void.  We recommend
 *   • bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,
 *   • pointer-valued functions return non-null / null pointer, and
 *   • integer-valued functions return non-negative / negative.
