Subject: [PATCH net] xen-netback: fix guest-receive-side array sizes
The sizes chosen for the metadata and grant_copy_op arrays on the guest
receive size are wrong;
- The meta array is needlessly twice the ring size, when we only ever
consume a single array element per RX ring slot
- The grant_copy_op array is way too small. It's sized based on a bogus
assumption: that at most two copy ops will be used per ring slot. This
may have been true at some point in the past but it's clear from looking
at start_new_rx_buffer() that a new ring slot is only consumed if a frag
would overflow the current slot (plus some other conditions) so the actual
limit is MAX_SKB_FRAGS grant_copy_ops per ring slot.
This patch fixes those two sizing issues and, because grant_copy_ops grows
so much, it pulls it out into a separate chunk of vmalloc()ed memory.

This was originally submitted for discussion on xen-devel. Wei acked it
there, which is why this carbon-copy submission to netdev already carries
his ack.
