Subject: sunvdc: compute vdisk geometry from capacity
From: Allen Pais <allen.pais@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit de5b73f08468b4fc5e2f6d1505f650262622f78b ]
The LDom diskserver doesn't return reliable geometry data. In addition,
the types for all fields in the vio_disk_geom are u16, which were being
truncated in the cast into the u8's of the Linux struct hd_geometry.
Modify vdc_getgeo() to compute the geometry from the disk's capacity in a
manner consistent with xen-blkfront::blkif_getgeo().
