Virtualization - Aug 2010 - [PATCH 2/5] staging: hv: Fixed lockup problem with bounce_buffer scatter list

From: Hank Janssen <hjanssen at microsoft.com>

Fixed lockup problem with bounce_buffer scatter list which caused
crashes in heavy loads. Under heavy loads with many clients we this
problem appear, it causes a kernel Panic.
