I don't mind these, but I completely agree on the patches for moving the
'error' assignment. What ends up happening for those cases is that
someone adds a new section and forgets to set 'error', and then all hell
breaks lose.

So Markus, don't bother sending those patches again for the block layer
or drivers, I'm not going to take them.
