This can avoid setting a negative value to
etc/boot-fail-wait.

Hmm, values > 0xffff are reported and values < 0 are silently ignored.
I think we should be consistent here.
I'd suggest report and exit in both cases,
i.e. use error_setg(..., &error_fatal);

cheers,

Agreed.  If the user specifies a value outside acceptable limits,
rejecting it is simpler than "correcting" it.  "Corrections" may look
convenient, but they're not worth the additional interface complexity.

> i.e. use error_setg(..., &error_fatal);

In case you mean something like

    error_setg(&error_fatal, "reboot timeout is larger than 65535");

I'd like to point to error.h:

 * Please don't error_setg(&error_fatal, ...), use error_report() and
 * exit(), because that's more obvious.
