Rather than allocating/freeing a piece of memory every time
we try to figure out how long a CCW chain is, let's use a piece
of memory allocated for each device.
The io_mutex added with commit 4f76617378 ("vfio-ccw: protect
the I/O region") is held for the duration of the VFIO_CCW_EVENT_IO_REQ
event that accesses/uses this space, so there should be no race
concerns with another CPU attempting an (unexpected) SSCH for the
same device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
