3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <[email protected]> commit 5842f5768599094758931b74190cdf93641a8e35 upstream. We need to make sure that those parameters are setup to be correct. As such the value of 0 is deemed invalid and we find that we bail out. The hypervisor sets by default all of them to be zero and when the hypercall is done does a simple: a.value = d->arch.hvm_domain.params[a.index]; Which means that if the Xen toolstack forgot to setup the proper HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_EVTCHN (or the PFN one), we would get the default value of 0 and use that.
