Hi, Nicholas
This is a significant improvement over the previous version!

I have a few comments below, though they may be off the mark since they're
based on my own reading of the SBI and Sdtrig specifications.

According to the SBI specification (section 19.4):
- "The sbiret.value is set to zero upon success or if shared memory is
  disabled". I interpret this to mean that sbi_dbtr_install_trig must return a
  trigger index along with an SBI_ERR_BAD_RANGE error.

- "sbiret.value is set to the array index i of the failing
  trigger configuration". In this case, sbiret.value should be hs->total_trigs,
  because that is the index of the first failing trigger configuration.

Same comment applies to sbi_dbtr_update_trig.
