This patch introduces 'struct sg_ring', a layer on top of scatterlist
arrays. It meshes nicely with routines which expect a simple array of
'struct scatterlist' because it is easy to break down the ring into
its constituent arrays.
The sg_ring header also encodes the maximum number of entries, useful
for routines which populate an sg. We need never hand around a number
of elements any more.
