Subject[ 18/21] NTB: memcpy lockup workaround
Date
3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jon Mason <jon.mason@intel.com>

commit c336acd3331dcc191a97dbc66a557d47741657c7 upstream.

The system will appear to lockup for long periods of time due to the NTB
driver spending too much time in memcpy. Avoid this by reducing the
number of packets that can be serviced on a given interrupt.
