v4:
* remove all BUG() and BUG_ON() - do not crash the kernel
You just deleted them? No taking into account that you should just
handle issues like this in a run-time-safe way instead?
Removing them altogether was a better way to handle the problems
overall. In both spots, the BUG_ON() was catching things on the client
side of the driver that were actually a problem for the I/O service
partition - bad values going in which could cause the service partition
to crash. Obviously, crashing the guest was a bad solution, and it left
an opening where someone could crash the service partition on purpose,
so we needed to be able to handle things the right way.
I apologize for the lack of information in the versioning. I will
collect up all of the changes from each version, and send a v5 with
comprehensive information. :)
