Subject: [PATCH net-next] i40e: Reduce stack in i40e_dbg_dump_desc

From: Joe Perches <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 14:12:48 -0800

Reduce stack use by using kmemdup and not using a very
large struct on stack.

In function ‘i40e_dbg_dump_desc’:
warning: the frame size of 8192 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
