Subject: [PATCH v6 05/11] 9p/trans_virtio: support larger msize values

The virtio transport supports by default a 9p 'msize' of up to
approximately 500 kB. This patch adds support for larger 'msize'
values by resizing the amount of scatter/gather lists if required.

To be more precise, for the moment this patch increases the 'msize'
limit for the virtio transport to slightly below 4 MB, virtio
transport actually supports much more (tested successfully with an
experimental QEMU version and some dirty 9p Linux client hacks up
to msize=128MB), but client still uses linear buffers, which in
turn are limited to KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE (4M).

Signed-off-by: Christian Schoenebeck <linux_oss@...debyte.com>

I am not sure if it is safe the way SG lists are resized here. I "think"
Dominique said before there should be no concurrency here, but probably
deserves a revisit.
