[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/5] block: Add special error code for wrong format

[Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>]

The block drivers need a special error code for "wrong format".
>From the available error codes EMEDIUMTYPE fits best.
It is not available on all platforms, so a definition in
qemu-common.h and a specific error report are needed.
