Xen frontends shouldn't BUG() in case of illegal data received from
their backends. So replace the BUG_ON()s when reading illegal data from
the ring page with negative return values.

V2:
- drop BUG_ON() (Christophe Leroy, Greg Kroah-Hartmann)
- replace WARN_ONCE() by pr_err_once() (Greg Kroah-Hartmann)
- break out from original series

Largely unrelated note: While in general the barriers here may want
switching to virt_*mb(), this particular one looks to be too heavy
anyway: a read barrier is all that's needed here afaict, just like
there's only a write barrier between ring contents and producer
writing in __write_console().

And btw, since I've got puzzled by the linuxppc-dev@ in the recipients
list, I did look up relevant entries in ./MAINTAINERS. Shouldn't the
file be part of "XEN HYPERVISOR INTERFACE"?

I agree.

I wouldn't mind. Greg, Jiri, what do you think?
