The purpose is to record a potential error in the migration stream if
qemu_savevm_state_setup() fails. Most of the current .save_setup()
handlers can be modified to use the Error argument instead of managing
their own and calling locally error_report(). The following patches
will introduce such changes for VFIO first.

I believe this is a failure return.
Anti-pattern: fail without setting an error. There might be more
elsewhere in the series.
qapi/error.h's big comment:
* - On success, the function should not touch *errp. On failure, it
* should set a new error, e.g. with error_setg(errp, ...), or
* propagate an existing one, e.g. with error_propagate(errp, ...).
*
* - Whenever practical, also return a value that indicates success /
* failure. This can make the error checking more concise, and can
* avoid useless error object creation and destruction. Note that
* we still have many functions returning void. We recommend
* • bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,
* • pointer-valued functions return non-null / null pointer, and
* • integer-valued functions return non-negative / negative.

When adding Error **errp to a function, you must also add code to set an
error on failure to every failure path. Adding it in a later patch in
the same series can be okay, but I'd add a TODO comment to the function
then, and mention it in the commit message.
Indeed. I will check the other changes.
Questions?
Perfectly clear.
Thanks,
C.
