Remove panic-on-error from ECKD block device IPL specific functions so that
error recovery may be possible in the future.

Functions that would previously panic now provide a return code.

load_eckd_segments() returns a value of type block_number_t which is an 
unsigned type, so returning a negative error value will likely not work as 
expected...

... for example here: block_nr is also of type block_number_t, so the while 
condition is also true for "negative" error codes.

"block_nr < 0" likely also always evaluates to "false".

There already exists a special block number defined in bootmap.h, 
NULL_BLOCK_NR 0xffffffffffffffffULL. Therefore I would propose simply 
adding another as ERROR_BLOCK_NR 0xfffffffffffffffeULL.

ERROR_BLOCK_NR would replace the negative error codes and NULL_BLOCK_NR 
would represent expected end of chunk.  Does this seem reasonable?

Sounds like a good idea.

Alternatively, you could do casting to signed long here and there, but 
that's ugly, too.
