I'm afraid other logic (below here) is now slightly wrong as well, in
particular 

				/* If the mapping of the first frag was OK, but
				 * the header's copy failed, and they are
				 * sharing a slot, send an error
				 */
				if (i == 0 && !first_shinfo && sharedslot)
					xenvif_idx_release(queue, pending_idx,
							   XEN_NETIF_RSP_ERROR);
				else
					xenvif_idx_release(queue, pending_idx,
							   XEN_NETIF_RSP_OKAY);

which looks to be intended to deal with _only_ failure of the one shared
part of the header, whereas "err" now can indicate an error on any earlier
part as well.
