-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

commit 7d5d408c77cee95d1380511de46b7a4c8dc2211d

struct asc_dvc_var needs overrun buffer to be placed on an 8 byte
boundary. advansys defines struct asc_dvc_var:

struct asc_dvc_var {
...
uchar overrun_buf[ASC_OVERRUN_BSIZE] __aligned(8);

The problem is that struct asc_dvc_var is placed on
shost->hostdata. So if the hostdata is not on an 8 byte boundary, the
advansys crashes. The hostdata is placed on a sizeof(unsigned long)
boundary so the 8 byte boundary is not garanteed with x86_32.

With 2.6.23 and 2.6.24, the hostdata is on an 8 byte boundary by
chance, but with the current git, it's not.

This patch removes overrun_buf static array and use kzalloc.

FUJITA Tomonori notes:
We thought that 2.6.24 doesn't have this bug, however it does.
