xenhcd_gnttab_map in usbfront-q.c looks up the mfn of the start of the
usb transfer buffer.  But the buffer may span several pages, and the
current code simply increments the obtained mfn.  Needless to say this
is an unwarranted assumption.  It causes large transfers to be
corrupted and/or to overwrite other parts of memory.
