Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH, RESEND] xen: allocate gntdev_copy_batch dynamically

struct gntdev_copy_batch is arguably too large to fit on the kernel stack,
and we get a warning about the stack usage in gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy:

drivers/xen/gntdev.c:949:1: error: the frame size of 1240 bytes is larger than 
1024 bytes

This changes the code to us a dynamic allocation instead.

I sent this in January, Boris sent an almost identical patch
as http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/414056
but the bug remains present in mainline and linux-next as of
Feb 25.

Could you apply one of the patches before the bug makes it
into v4.5?

David wanted to shrink the structure size instead:
