Subject: [PATCH 10/12] xen: make use of xenbus_read_unsigned() in xen-fbfront

Use xenbus_read_unsigned() instead of xenbus_scanf() when possible.
This requires to change the type of the reads from int to unsigned,
but these cases have been wrong before: negative values are not allowed
for the modified cases.
