Well, if the parameter list cannot be split at a ',' because the
parameters would still be too long then I put the opening '(' at the
next line, two spaces indented relative to the function name. This is
independent from the context of the function call. No inconsistency
here IMHO :)

Yes, basically all functions in the ESX driver raise errors
themselves. esxVI_Long_CastFromAnyType is no exception here, it's just
no visible in the patch :)

The only exceptions are esxUtil_UnescapeHex and
esxUtil_ParseVirtualMachineIDString. esxUtil_UnescapeHex doesn't do it
because the caller can report a better error message (with more
context) and esxUtil_ParseVirtualMachineIDString has no reason to do
so... and I'll change that. Thanks for asking :)

Thanks, pushed.
