It improves the current situation, yes, but there are still cases there
where die() is called, I assume that is left for later, right?
More comments below.

Like here, the TUI/GUI can try to add a probe but if it fails it can
still continue providing things like a "perf top" window, analysing
perf.data files, doing 'perf diffs', etc.

This change is correct, with the stated intent :-)

Yeah, there are still lots of places, in other areas that don't return a
status, just printing a warning and silently failing, like in the trace
parsing routines

Correct, if you look at tools/perf/util/debug.c, eprintf() looks if
we're in TUI mode, use_browser is true and either fprintfs(stderr) if
not or calls a routine to put it at the "status line" (bottom) in the
TUI.
Having a list with the last messages so that we can have a log window,
or keeping it in a log file that would then be browser is an enhancement
to be made.

We have to kill those xzcalloc, etc, too they are die() in disguise :-)
