Subject[PATCH] xen: detect uninitialized xenbus in xenbus_init
Date
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xilinx.com>

If the xenstore page hasn't been allocated properly, reading the value
of the related hvm_param (HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN) won't actually return
error. Instead, it will succeed and return zero.

Instead of attempting to xen_remap a bad guest physical address, detect
this condition and return early.

Note that although a guest physical address of zero for
HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is theoretically possible, it is not a good choice
and zero has never been validly used in that capacity.
