Subject: [PATCH 3.16 278/370] pegasus: Use heap buffers for all register
 access

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit 5593523f968bc86d42a035c6df47d5e0979b5ace upstream.

Allocating USB buffers on the stack is not portable, and no longer
works on x86_64 (with VMAP_STACK enabled as per default).

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
