Subject: [PATCH] virtio: 9p: correctly pass physical address to userspace for high pages

When using a virtio transport, the 9p net device allocates pages to back
the descriptors inserted into the virtqueue. These allocations may be
performed from atomic context (under the channel lock) and can therefore
return high mappings which aren't suitable for virt_to_phys.

This patch ensures that virtual addresses for virtio queue descriptors
are converted to physical addresses using kmap_to_page, which handles
high memory correctly.
