None of the rest of the code (telnet, tls, and other i/o related
funcs) uses error_report(). In some ways this is good as it
prevents a client app from flooding the qemu log file. It does
make debugging harder though when things are not working as
expected.

I wonder if we should add a tracing probe point in the
error_setg* methods in util/error.c ? There's quite a few
places in QEMU that discard errors which could benefit from
this when debugging.

I don't think it needs to blck this patch though.

Daniel
