Not really.  The H_HARDWARE tells the guest that something went
wrong.  The WARN_ON tells the _host_ that something went horribly
wrong.

I don't entirely follow your explanation, but ok.  Please correct this
in the respin.

Ok, can you add a comment about this say
  /* real mode xchg can fail if struct page crosses a page boundary */

.. and, if that's the case, shouldn't it be H_TOO_HARD not H_HARDWARE,
since the virtual mode one will be able to handle this?
