Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.
