193227f9e565803b1167fa01301bdf9f6d294d6a error: Use error_report_err() instead of monitor_printf()
Both error_report_err() and monitor_printf() print to the same
destination when monitor_printf() is used correctly, i.e. within an
HMP monitor. Elsewhere, monitor_printf() does nothing, while
error_report_err() reports to stderr.
Most changed functions are HMP command handlers. These should only
run within an HMP monitor. The one exception is bdrv_password_cb(),
which should also only run within an HMP monitor.
Four command handlers prefix the error message with the command name:
balloon, migrate_set_capability, migrate_set_parameter, migrate.
Pointless, drop.
Unlike monitor_printf(), error_report_err() uses the error whole
instead of just its message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This
avoids suppressing its hint (see commit 50b7b00). Example:
(qemu) device_add ivshmem,id=666
Parameter 'id' expects an identifier
Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter.
Try "help device_add" for more information
The "Identifiers consist of..." line is new with this patch.
