When using a virtio transport, the 9p net device may pass the physical address of a kernel buffer to userspace via a scatterlist inside a virtqueue. If the kernel buffer is mapped outside of the linear mapping (e.g. highmem), then virt_to_page will return a bogus value and we will populate the scatterlist with junk. This patch uses kmap_to_page when populating the page array for a kernel buffer.
