Subject: [ 10/61] xen/hvc: Fix error cases around HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_PFN

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com>

commit a32c88b9386ce3df87f28dd46bdc3776cd6edf75 upstream.

We weren't resetting the parameter to be passed in to a
known default. Nor were we checking the return value of
hvm_get_parameter.
