Have you looked at rte_flow? It is already doing this, and people asked me to follow the same approach here for domain specific error codes.

Look at Jerin's feedback on RFC here: http://www.dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-January/054484.html
"IMO, We need an explicit error number to differentiate the configuration error due do Ethernet port has been started.
The recent rte_flow spec has own error codes to get more visibility on the failure, so that application can choose better attributes for configuring."

I agreed it is a good idea, as it gives you a precise indication on what exactly went wrong. A generic error code of EBUSY needs to be complemented by a second level of library-specific error details. Note that we are also setting rte_errno.
