[Xen-devel] [PATCH V5 30/32] libxl: consider force removal of device successful



The current behavior of libxl to remove a device is, if the backend
times out, libxl will initiate a force removal (destroy) of that device.
However, libxl still returns failure in that case, even if the force
removal was successful.

If a device is force removed and the force removal succeeds, from
guest's PoV this device is gone. Libxl should consider this a
successful case as well.
