Adding another lock (queue_lock) to our already ticklish locking gives
me a queasy feeling...

The purpose of the lock is not obvious to me.  Please explain that, in
the code.  Likewise, it's not entirely obvious that the locking works.
Please update the "How the locks work together" comment.

But before you do that, I suggest you tell us exactly what problem
you're attempting to solve with queue_lock.  Maybe we can come up with
a less scary solution.  Maybe not.  But it's worth a try.  If it's
just to ensure the changes made by xenfb_set_par() are seen in
xenfb_do_resize() correctly, a memory barrier should to the trick more
easily.

This can block the thread running xenfb_thread() indefinitely.  I
guess that's okay.  We don't do S4 (save-to-disk) in domU anyway.

else fail silently by doing nothing

Does the framebuffer code handle the fb_set_par() callback doing
nothing?

Even if it does: is silently failing acceptable?

Open question: why do we have to set the parameters to the actual
initial resolution here, but don't have to set them when the
resolution changes dynamically?
