ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() performs an out-of-bounds MMIO read
when the queue reader or writer index from hardware exceeds
REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60).

A compromised service processor can trigger this by writing an
out-of-range value to the reader or writer MMIO register before
asserting an interrupt. Since writer is re-read from hardware on
every loop iteration, it can also be set to an out-of-range value
after the loop has already started.

The root cause is that get_queue_reader() and get_queue_writer() return
raw readl() values that are passed directly into get_queue_entry(),
which computes:

  queue_begin + reader * sizeof(struct remote_input)

with no bounds check. This unchecked MMIO address is then passed to
memcpy_fromio(), reading 8 bytes from unintended device registers.
For sufficiently large values the address falls outside the PCI BAR
mapping entirely, triggering a machine check exception.

Fix by checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE at the top of
the loop body, before any call to get_queue_entry(). On an out-of-range
value, reset the reader register to 0 via set_queue_reader() before
breaking, so that normal queue operation can resume if the corrupted
hardware state is transient.
