Add chained sg support to linux/scatterlist.h
The core of the patch - allow the last sg element in a scatterlist table to point to the start of a new table. We overload the LSB of the page pointer to indicate whether this is a valid sg entry, or merely a link to the next list. Includes a fix from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> correcting the ifdef ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN guarding sg_last(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
