ide-floppy: allocate only toplevel packet commands
This makes the top-level function just allocate a single pc entry, and then
pass it down as a pointer to all the helper functions that also need one
of those "struct ide_atapi_pc" things. As far as I can tell, the use of
these things never overlaps each other, BUT I DID NOT CHECK VERY CLOSELY!
So I'm not guaranteeing this is correct, and I don't have the hardware. It
would be good for somebody who knows the code more, and has the hardware,
could please test this?
With this, ide-floppy still has fairly big stack usage, but instead of
idefloppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 1208
ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 872
idefloppy_release [vmlinux]: 408
idefloppy_open [vmlinux]: 408
where those two first ones are at the very top of the list of stack users
for me, it's now
ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 404
ide_floppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 364
ie they are still high, but they are no longer at the top.
Borislav: Since ide_floppy_get_capacity is passed as a function pointer to other
parts of the kernel (e.g., block layer) we need that ide_atapi_pc to be created
on stack. Also, redid stack users numbers above. The two functions missing from
Linus' original 'make stackusage' output are due to ide being
rewritten/reorganized atm.
