I'm trying my patch, but I run into an issue.
Currently, EAL already depends on kvargs.
If I add a reference to rte_errno from kvargs, it will require a
new dependency to EAL... which is impossible.

Using errno instead of rte_errno is not usual in DPDK.
Having a typedef for this is not very convenient either.

So thinking more about it, your solution looks better.

I have a draft of unit test, I'll send an update of your patch including
it ASAP.
