Changeset 12550 from xen-unstable.

[QEMU] fdc: Limit sector size to 16K

In fdctrl_start_transfer the sector size field (fifo[5]) is not checked
for overflows.  This allows an arbitrarily large sector size to be used,
which can in turn result in a negative data_len field that is then used
for DMA transfers.

This can lead to the corrpuption of qemu state because some subsequent
checks on the transfer length is conducted using signed integers.

This patch limits the value fifo[5] to 7 which is the standard limit
on floppy sector size.
