Problems this addresses: * After the allocation of t_info fails, the path the code takes tries to free t_info. Jump past that part instead. * The failure code assumes that unused data is zero; but the structure is never initialized. Zero the structure before using it. * The t_info pages are shared with dom0 before we know that the whole operation will succeed, and not un-shared afterwards. Don''t share the pages until we know the whole thing will succeed.
