Hi,

Correct, though if the return values would be the same, it might 
simplify the callout API and manual page a bit:

/* return values for all callout_xxx() functions */
#define CALLOUT_RET_DRAINING    0 /* callout cannot be stopped, need 
drain */
#define CALLOUT_RET_CANCELLED   1 /* callout was successfully stopped */
#define CALLOUT_RET_STOPPED     -1 /* callout was already stopped */

Then callout_reset() would return -1, if it was started from the stopped 
state.
