I think we identified a bug in the old patch:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2008/8/29/3127594
http://kerneltrap.org/index.php?q=mailarchive/linux-kvm/2008/8/29/3128124

Is this fixup still valid? 

-		if (blk_pc_request(vbr->req)) {
+		if (blk_pc_request(vbr->req) && len >= sizeof(vbr->in_hdr)) {

I forgot almost all details about the problem.
