virtio_console: Stop doing DMA on the stack
virtio_console uses a small DMA buffer for control requests. Move that buffer into heap memory. Doing virtio DMA on the stack is normally okay on non-DMA-API virtio systems (which is currently most of them), but it breaks completely if the stack is virtually mapped. Tested by typing both directions using picocom aimed at /dev/hvc0. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
