Subject: [ 051/147] [SCSI] ibmvscsi: Fix host config length field overflow

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

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

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>

commit 225c56960fcafeccc2b6304f96cd3f0dbf42a16a upstream.

The length field in the host config packet is only 16-bit long, so
passing it 0x10000 (64K which is our standard PAGE_SIZE) doesn't
work and result in an empty config from the server.
