The benefits of using SG are well known.
I think the question should be the other way around - why not supporting SG in CM?

I will add the following text to commit message:
By default, IPoIB-CM driver uses 64k MTU. Larger MTU gives better performance.
This MTU plus overhead puts the memory allocation for IP based packets at 32 4k pages (order 5), which have to be contiguous.
When the system memory under pressure, it was observed that allocating 128k contiguous physical memory is difficult and causes serious errors (such as system becomes unusable).
This enhancement resolve the issue by removing the physically contiguous memory requirement using Scatter/Gather feature that exists in Linux stack.
