Urgh, this method is rather confusing usng "true" to indicate failure.
In include/qapi/error.h we document

  • bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,

Admittedly this problem is pre-existing before this patch, but I
would none the less like to see a patch that fixes thse inverted
semantics first, and then this as a subsequent patch on top.
