Subject: [PATCH] xen_disk: Avoid repeated memory allocation

xen_disk currently allocates memory to hold the data for each ioreq
as that ioreq is used, and frees it afterwards. Because it requires
page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-aligned
allocations and balloons the heap.

Instead, allocate the maximum possible requirement, which is
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST pages (currently 11 pages) when
the ioreq is created, and keep that allocation until it is destroyed.
Since the ioreqs themselves are re-used via a free list, this
should actually improve memory usage.
