[Xen-devel] [PATCH]: Fix xentrace buffer allocation

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

during experiments with xentrace we found that the t_info buffer 
allocation does not match the constants describing the buffer size.
Attached patch fixes this, so changes of the buffer size only requires a 
single line change in the future. Thanks to Uwe for reporting this.
Regards,
Andre.
