xen/HVM: atomically access pointers in bufioreq handling
The number of slots per page being 511 (i.e. not a power of two) means
that the (32-bit) read and write indexes going beyond 2^32 will likely
disturb operation. The hypervisor side gets I/O req server creation
extended so we can indicate that we're using suitable atomic accesses
where needed, allowing it to atomically canonicalize both pointers when
both have gone through at least one cycle.
The Xen side counterpart (which is not a functional prereq to this
change, albeit a build one) went in already (commit b7007bc6f9).
