[Xen-devel] [PATCH] ocaml/xenctrl: Make failwith_xc() thread safe

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The static error_str[] buffer is not thread-safe, and 1024 bytes is
unreasonably large.  Reduce to 256 bytes (which is still much larger than any
current use), and move it to being a stack variable.

Also, propagate the Noreturn attribute from caml_raise_with_string().
