I looked at doing this, but it didn't result in any switch
statements being removed. Each switch statement is different
enough that we can't just have a single switch at the end
of the function that maps the RV_* value to the proper
EXIT_* value.

I made some other minor changes based on suggestions, and
will repost after the "xfsdump: remove unnecessary" patch
is reviewed. (This patch overlaps a bit with that one.)

Thanks,
