3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7926aff5c57b577ab0f43364ff0c59d968f6a414 upstream. Allocating USB buffers on the stack is not portable, and no longer works on x86_64 (with VMAP_STACK enabled as per default).
