3.4.113-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 0f589967a73f1f30ab4ac4dd9ce0bb399b4d6357 upstream.

The last from guest transmitted request gives no indication about the
minimum amount of credit that the guest might need to send a packet
since the last packet might have been a small one.

Instead allow for the worst case 128 KiB packet.

This is part of XSA155.
