blk_rq_map_kern is used for kernel internal I/Os. Some callers use this function with stack buffers but DMA to/from the stack buffers leads to memory corruption on a non-coherent platform. This patch make blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers if a caller passes a stack buffer (on the all platforms for simplicity).
