Yes, this would be good. The caller could pass a start index and a 
length. Xen then returns characters from that index, up to length bytes 
(if available). If the given index is too far behind Xen's producer 
index, Xen would provide bytes from index position (producer - 
ring_size). In either case Xen would return index position of first 
byte returned.
