Description of changes:

[4.3.0-55.el6.22.24]
- fdc: force the fifo access to be in bounds of the allocated buffer
   During processing of certain commands such as FD_CMD_READ_ID and
   FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND the fifo memory access could
   get out of bounds leading to memory corruption with values coming
   from the guest.
   Fix this by making sure that the index is always bounded by the
   allocated memory.
   This is CVE-2015-3456.

[4.3.0-55.el6.22.21]
- xen: limit guest control of PCI command register
   Otherwise the guest can abuse that control to cause e.g. PCIe
   Unsupported Request responses (by disabling memory and/or I/O decoding
   and subsequently causing [CPU side] accesses to the respective address
   ranges), which (depending on system configuration) may be fatal to the
   host.
   This is CVE-2015-2756 / XSA-126.

[4.3.0-55.el6.22.19]
- Limit XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping hypercall to only process up to 64 
GFNs (or less)
   Said hypercall for large BARs can take quite a while. As such
   we can require that the hypercall MUST break up the request
   in smaller values.
   Another approach is to add preemption to it - whether we do the
   preemption using hypercall_create_continuation or returning
   EAGAIN to userspace (and have it re-invocate the call) - either
   way the issue we cannot easily solve is that in 'map_mmio_regions'
   if we encounter an error we MUST call 'unmap_mmio_regions' for the
   whole BAR region.
   Since the preemption would re-use input fields such as nr_mfns,
   first_gfn, first_mfn - we would lose the original values -
   and only undo what was done in the current round (i.e. ignoring
   anything that was done prior to earlier preemptions).
   Unless we re-used the return value as 'EAGAIN|nr_mfns_done<<10' but
   that puts a limit (since the return value is a long) on the amount
   of nr_mfns that can provided.
   This patch sidesteps this problem by:
   - Setting an hard limit of nr_mfns having to be 64 or less.
   - Toolstack adjusts correspondingly to the nr_mfn limit.
   - If the there is an error when adding the toolstack will call the
   remove operation to remove the whole region.
   The need to break this hypercall down is for large BARs can take
   more than the guest (initial domain usually) time-slice. This has
   the negative result in that the guest is locked out for a long
   duration and is unable to act on any pending events.
   We also augment the code to return zero if nr_mfns instead
   of trying to the hypercall.
