I appreciate the desire to eliminate duplicate code, but I think the
naming just muddies the waters. TBH, when I first read the diff w/o the
changelog, I thought you were describing the input fd (i.e. 'kvm_fd',
'vm_fd', 'vcpu_fd'). I don't think explicitly spelling out the condition
each time (i.e. ret >= 0) is all that difficult.

Though the same error condition, this isn't returning an fd.
