As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():

*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...

*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.

* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is the pointer of
error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because
exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

The cbw_open() passes @errp to error_prepend() without ERRP_GUARD().

Though it is the BlockDriver.bdrv_open() method, and currently its
@errp parameter only points to callers' local_err, to follow the
requirement of @errp, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this
function.

Your actual email is at linux.intel.com, is it all OK?
