I limited myself to truly trivial fixes.  I hope that's still useful

"bug: 0 0" is not a useful error message.  Neither are "Desc next is
128", " too short" (too short indeed), "wrong magic" (some "wrong
magic" skills will be handy to figure out what went wrong).  I'm
stopping here for brevity's sake, not for want of examples.

If you can't be bothered to provide an intelligible error message and
*test* it to verify it actually makes sense for the user, maybe you
should stick to assert() or something.  Makes your laziness stand out
properly.

   sheepdog: qemu_bh_new() can't return null pointer, drop check
   Strip trailing '\n' from error_report()'s first argument
   qemu-img: Don't prepend qemu-img to error messages twice.
   Spell "unkown" correctly in error_report() arguments
   blockdev: Put space after comma in error message
