xen-blkfront: pre-allocate pages for requests
This prevents us from having to call alloc_page while we are preparing the request. Since blkfront was calling alloc_page with a spinlock held we used GFP_ATOMIC, which can fail if we are requesting a lot of pages since it is using the emergency memory pools. Allocating all the pages at init prevents us from having to call alloc_page, thus preventing possible failures.
