[PATCH] xen/setup: add paranoid index check and warning

From: Martin Kelly
Date: Mon Oct 13 2014 - 21:19:46 EST


In a call to set_phys_range_identity, i-1 is used without checking that
i is non-zero. Although unlikely, a bug in the code before it could
cause the value to be 0, leading to erroneous behavior. This patch adds
a check against 0 value and a corresponding warning.
