[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] xen: fix quad word bufioreq handling

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

We should not consume the second slot if it didn't get written yet.
Normal writers - i.e. Xen - would not update write_pointer between the
two writes, but the page may get fiddled with by the guest itself, and
we're better off entering an infinite loop in that case.

TBD: Alternatively we could call e.g. hw_error() instead.
