      [IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2. · 7682a4c6
      Dean Nelson authored
      Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
      data corruption.  On module load, the placement may cause the
      xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages.  DMA transfers are
      done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
      
      This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
      kmalloc'd buffer.  Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting.  I have
      tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
      and verified it works.  I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
      this if a similar situation is encountered.
