Many of them do.  I'm not sure I use all of the LOG* family but
they're orthogonally necessary.

I supplied GCREALLOC_ARRAY because it seemed to fit in with the family
which had malloc and an array malloc.  It doesn't have a caller yet
even in my tip; there's a potential call site in libxl_qmp.c but if
that's not enough to justify it I can take it out for now.

Ian.
