Subject: [PATCH] i825xx: fix paging fault on znet_probe()

From: Fengguang Wu <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2012 15:25:46 +0800

In znet_probe(), strncmp() may access beyond 0x100000 and
trigger the below oops in kvm.  Fix it by limiting the loop
under 0x100000-8. I suspect the limit could be further decreased
to 0x100000-sizeof(struct netidblk), however no datasheet at hand..
