Subject: [patch 040/164] USB: xhci: Limit bus sg_tablesize to 62 TRBs.

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@...ux.intel.com>

commit bc88d2eba5e19d10dd546e428314909d889b3b6a upstream.

When a scatter-gather list is enqueued to the xHCI driver, it translates
each entry into a transfer request block (TRB).  Only 63 TRBs can be
used per ring segment, and there must be one additional TRB reserved to
make sure the hardware does not think the ring is empty (so the enqueue
pointer doesn't equal the dequeue pointer).  Limit the bus sg_tablesize
to 62 TRBs.
