Newline.

I assume this generates the same topology as the current code, or will
the population of the leaves be different in some way?

Could you also print the error code?

Line length.

/* Wipe host topology.  Populated by toolstack. */

Would be OK IMO.

Thanks, Roger.

Note that currently the host policy also gets the topology leaves
cleared, is it intended to not clear them anymore after this change?

(as you only clear the leaves for the guest {max,def} policies)

Thanks, Roger.
