It is not guest-triggerable.

I agree, AioContext *aio_context_new(Error **errp) is simpler.
The callers don't need to know the errno because they don't act on its
value, just use error_setg_errno() so the error message captures it.

Please don't use errno unless the function already sets it. QEMU almost
never uses errno.

Yes, please.
