I'll look into this issues.

I'm statically allocating memory because it saves a lot of kernel arguments
(by putting them in a single structure) which in turn saves lot of vgprs.
When number of kernel arguments exceeds certain limit, it starts using
vgprs. I have verified this with catalyst 13,4. This may be a compiler
problem and if this problem is resolved in future then we wouldn't have any
problem with dynamic allocation.
