Two changes:
* Stat the file before calling libxl_cdrom_insert()
* Return an error if anything fails (including libxl_cdrom_insert)

This is in part to work around the fact that the RAW disk type
is used for things that aren't actually files; so we can't call
stat in libxl_device.c:libxl__device_disk_set_backend() because
it may be going over a remote protocol.

ERROR_NOMEM

If this were a library function I would definitely return -ERROR_NOMEM; but since this is just a helper function whose value is going to be returned to the command-line, I think just returning 1 is the best thing to do.

You are leaking buf here, I know xl is just about to exit, but it might
be best to to define a label below that contains:

Oops!  Sorry about that...

+        return 1;
ERROR_INVAL

+    }
+
+    if (libxl_cdrom_insert(ctx, domid, &disk, NULL))
+        rc=1;
You could use the return value of libxl_cdrom_insert instead of 1.

I sort of assumed that libxl_cdrom_insert() was a negative value, and that I wanted xl to return 1.

I'll send a respin w/ the leak fixed.
