gcc 4.4 warns about:

The problem is we declare two large structures on the stack. They don't need
to be on the stack since they are only used during LBA initialization (which
is serialized). Moving to be "static".

Take #3. Still can not build a kernel to test. Thanks to James Bottomley and
John David Anglin for catching the dumbest errors I've done in a long time.
