[PATCH v2 1/2] public/io: xs_wire: Document that EINVAL should always be first in xsd_errors



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some tools (e.g. xenstored) always expect EINVAL to be first in xsd_errors.

Document it so, one doesn't add a new entry before hand by mistake.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

----

I have tried to add a BUILD_BUG_ON() but GCC complained that the value
was not a constant. I couldn't figure out a way to make GCC happy.
