Last time I needed to do error reporting I was told the error_setg
method was the correct way to do it and the report/exit case made sense
only in the top level. Before we add even more error reporting
primitives can we update HACKING (or possibly add somethings to docs/)
that describes when and where the various error report mechanisms should
be used?
