    tools/xc_restore: Initialise console and store mfns
    
    If the console or store mfn chunks are not present in the migration stream,
    stack junk gets reported for the mfns.
    
    XenServer had a very hard to track down VM corruption issue caused by 
exactly
    this issue.  Xenconsoled would connect to a junk mfn and incremented the 
ring
    pointer if the junk happend to look like a valid gfn.
