Actually, after George's 0614c4542, it's better if this is turned into
a return (and likewise in set_memory_target()).

The inlined (and attached) patch does that.

And there's an updated branch (labelled v4, and of course I can
resubmit the whole series from there, if necessary), with this version
of the patch in it, at:
 git://xenbits.xen.org/people/dariof/xen.git rel/xl/exit-code-cleanup-v4

    xl: improve return and exit codes of memory related functions
    
    by making them more consistent with other examples in xl.
    
    While there, make freemem() of boolean return type, which
    looks more natural, and add comment explaining why
    parse_mem_size_kb() needs to diverge from the pattern.

    v4: make set_memory_max() and set_memory_target() more
        consistent.
    
    v3: Shorten changelog.
        Make freemem() boolean return type.
    
    v2: Add comment to explain return vaule of parse_mem_size_kb().
        Add freemem() and main_sharing().
        Remove find_domain().
