Please document how this is serialised.

Please change this function to return the error code.

For warning and error messages please use style:

"could not bring vdev up %d: %d\n"

Check the error message here, print a warning and return if there's an
error. But should we return 0 or the error code, that I do not know.

For consistency I would prefer that all functions return an error code,
but I guess that would not make any sense here. Does it?
