Some compilers (e.g. 5.2.1) complain:
  drivers/xen/gntdev.c: In function âgntdev_ioctl_grant_copy.isra.5â:
  drivers/xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1416 bytes
   is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
I thought I'd already reduced the size of this enough (from a batch size
of 32 to 24) but this obviously isn't enough for 64-bit platforms.

In the absence of any performance data on the best approach I would
prefer just reducing the batch size to 16.

That would still leave us with over 900 bytes on the stack which I think is rather high.

Do we expect this ioctl to be on some sort of a hot path?
