Yeah, thought about that, too, but then I just went for the sloppy
approach to minimize changes.

Okay, will be updating the patch.

Okay.

Yes.

Nothing.
But this patch is intended to just replace the hand-rolled list
implementation, not fixing bugs here.
The problem is that 'sg_finish_rem_req()' is taking the rq_list_lock,
so it needs a bit of rework to make that work properly.
But I'll give it a go.

Okay.
