Linux 2.6.33 reports this checkstack warning:

drivers/net/vxge/vxge-main.c: In function 'vxge_probe':
drivers/net/vxge/vxge-main.c:4409: warning: the frame size of 1028 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes

This warning does not occur in the latest linux-2.6 or linux-next, however,
when I do a 'make -j32 CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=512' instead of 1024 I see

drivers/net/vxge/vxge-main.c: In function ‘vxge_probe’:
drivers/net/vxge/vxge-main.c:4423: warning: the frame size of 1024 bytes is larger than 512 bytes

This patch moves the large vxge_config struct off the stack.

The patch is sufficient, but I think it doesn't go far enough.  The
struct vxge_config in struct vxgedev should be malloc'd as well.  struct
vxgedev is entirely too big and needs to be smaller, for cache perf and
other reasons.

Thanks,
Jon
