op is on the stack, so one must not use GET_GLOBAL on it.  Also,
drive_g is already a "global", so GLOBALFLAT2GLOBAL must not be called
on it.  So, this should read:

struct xendrive_s * xendrive = container_of(op->drive_g, struct xendrive_s, drive))

If one looks at the other disk drivers, they'll see something similar
- for example ahci_cmd_data() has:

struct ahci_port_s *port = container_of(
        op->drive_g, struct ahci_port_s, drive);

Yes, indeed, I followed the same process as virtuo drivers, yet the
memory address returned by container_of made no sense, so I kept
trying stuff out. Anyway I have a work around now, maybe later when I
clean the code I will change it back to just container_of, I am
pushing forward to get a working prototype as soon as possible.
