sg driver, sg_io and sg tablesize

Hi Doug
I have a quick question here regarding the sg tablesize and retrieval of the supported size via a userspace ioctl.

lpfc defaults to 
lpfc_sg_seg_cnt:Max Scatter Gather Segment Count (uint) = 64

For sg_io sent from qemu if we exceed 512K I/O we fail, qlogic allows 128 by default.

7:0:2:13 /dev/sdbb 67:80   /dev/sg55           Emulex lpfc LUN

[root@dhcp40-131 ~]# sg_dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdbb bpt=0x400 count=0x400 blk_sgio=1
Assume default 'bs' (block size) of 512 bytes
writing (SG_IO) on sg device, error: Invalid argument
sg_write failed, seek=0
Some error occurred,  remaining block count=1024
1024+0 records in
0+0 records out

9:0:1:13 /dev/sdcm 71:240  /dev/sg92         Qlogic qla2xxx LUN

[root@dhcp40-131 ~]# sg_dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdcm bpt=0x400 count=0x400 blk_sgio=1
Assume default 'bs' (block size) of 512 bytes
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

Using ioctl(sg_fd, BLKSECTGET, &max_sectors) from userspace correctly returns
the /sys/block/sdcm/queue/max_sectors_kb 

How can we query the sg tablesize using a userspace ioctl for the sg driver.

Figured I would ask you first.

Thanks
Laurence
