do_ida_request() can be called from within interrupt context.
A stack frame of more then 1K runs the risk of overflowing the
kernel stack. Correct this situation by dynamically allocating
the large (and temporary) scatter/gather array. A failure from kmalloc()
will leave a stack trace in the kernel log.
drivers/block/cpqarray.c: In function ‘do_ida_request’:
drivers/block/cpqarray.c:969:1: warning: the frame size of 1072 bytes is larger
than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
