I discovered two issues while trying to figure out what went wrong with
Windows.

[Wei Liu]

The copy macro returns false when the copy fails.

For clarity and consistency I think it would be better to avoid use of rc in this case and simply put the call to COPY_FROM_GUEST_BUF_OFFSET() inside the if clause.

[PATCH 2/2] libxendevicemodel: initialise extent to zero

[Wei Liu]

The pad field needs to be zero as required by the hypervisor.

Instead of setting the pad separately, memset extent to zero.

Probably better to just use a C99 initializer instead so the compiler deals with the pad.
