I don't think that either of those overwrites errno. Here's
freeaddrinfo() impl that I've found in glibc:

void
freeaddrinfo (struct addrinfo *ai)
{
  struct addrinfo *p;

  while (ai != NULL)
    {
      p = ai;
      ai = ai->ai_next;
      free (p->ai_canonname);
      free (p);
    }
}

And VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() preserves errno too. But nevertheless, ACK stands.
