From: Al Viro <v...@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

"BIG" in the name refers to the amount of data being transferred,
_not_ the size of structure itself; it's 140 or 144 bytes (for
32bit and 64bit hosts resp.).  IOCTL_Command_struct is 136 or
144 bytes large...

No point whatsoever turning that into dynamic allocation, let
alone vmalloc one.  Just keep it as local variable...
