Subject: [PATCH v5 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.

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.
