[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.10] passthrough/vtd: Don't DMA to the stack in queue_invalidate_wait()



DMA-ing to the stack is generally considered bad practice.  In this case, if a
timeout occurs because of a sluggish device which is processing the request,
the completion notification will corrupt the stack of a subsequent deeper call
tree.

Place the poll_slot in a percpu area and DMA to that instead.

Julien: This wants backporting to all releases, and therefore should be
considered for 4.10 at this point.
