Xen devel - Jun 2012 - [PATCH] qemu-traditional/xendisk: set maximum number of grants to be used

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this to be done when the
number of grants intended to be used simultaneously exceeds a certain
driver specific default limit.

Change in v2: Double the number requested, as we need to account for
the allocations needing to happen in contiguous chunks. The worst case
number would be max_req * max_seg + (max_req - 1) * (max_seg - 1) + 1,
but in order to keep things simple just use 2 * max_req * max_seg.

Committed to qemu-xen-traditional, thanks.
