Presumably this also yields the correct return code to cause the mv to
happen, so you do end up with a _libxl_paths.h with stuff in it?

Has someone got a bit carried away with the warn_unused_result attribute
in your distro/gcc/libc/etc? Applying that sort of attribute system wide
to such widespread functions seems like... trouble...
That said the atoi one is definitely a thinko on my part. (patch below)
The read/write ones are opposite ends of the notification pipe used when
the device model fails to start (to give the parent an fd to select on
so it can fail more quickly on qemu error).
I'm not sure there is much in the way of error handling which can or
should be done here, the parent will eventually timeout, much like if
the qemu process starts but fails initialise properly (i.e. hangs
instead of crashing).
I suppose we could check for EINTR and the like on the write side (being
careful not to get into a pointless loop) but on the read side we really
don't care about the result of the read, the wake up from select is the
important thing.
Ian.

libxl: remove stray "atoi" in debug code.
I switched from atoi to strtol but failed to actually remove it...
