virtio: block: dynamic maximum segments
Enhance the driver to handle whatever maximum segment number the host tells us to handle. Do to this, we need to allocate the scatterlist dynamically. We set max_phys_segments and max_hw_segments to the same value (1 if the host doesn't tell us, since that's safest and all known hosts do tell us). Note that kmalloc'ing the structure for large sg_elems might be problematic: the fix for this is sg_table, but that requires more work. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
