A character array was declared on the stack with variable length. This has
been corrected to use a fixed length.

The virthba module provides access to a shared SCSI host bus adapter
and one or more disk devices, by proxying SCSI commands between the
guest and the service partition that owns the shared SCSI adapter,
using a channel between the guest and the service partition. The disks
that appear on the shared bus are defined by the s-Par configuration
and enforced by the service partition, while the guest driver handles
sending commands and handling responses. Each disk is shared as a
whole to a guest. Sharing the bus adapter in this way provides
resiliency; should the device encounter an error, only the service
partition is rebooted, and the device is reinitialized. This allows
guests to continue running and to recover from the error.

The visorchipset module receives device creation and destruction
events from the Command service partition of s-Par, as well as
controlling registration of shared device drivers with the s-Par
driver core. The events received are used to populate other s-Par
modules with their assigned shared devices. Visorchipset is required
for shared device drivers to function properly. Visorchipset also
stores information for handling dump disk device creation during
kdump.
In operation, the visorchipset module processes device creation and
destruction messages sent by s-Par's Command service partition through
a channel. These messages result in creation (or destruction) of each
virtual bus and virtual device. Each bus and device is also associated
with a communication channel, which is used to communicate with one or
more IO service partitions to perform device IO on behalf of the
guest.
