Many Xen PV frontends share similar code for setting up a ring page

Create new service functions doing all needed steps in one go.

This requires all frontends to use a common value for an invalid
grant reference in order to make the functions idempotent.

Changes in V3:
- new patches 1 and 2, comments addressed

Changes in V2:
- new patch 9 and related changes in patches 10-18
