Subject: [PATCH 6/9] platform: goldfish: pipe: Fail compilation if structs are
 too large

From: Roman Kiryanov <rkir@...gle.com>

Since the driver provides no workaround prevent in cases if structs do
no fit into a memory page, it is better to fail complation to find about
the issue earlt instead of returning errors at runtime.
