Scsi MQ makes a large static allocation for the first scatter gather
list chunk for the driver to use.  This is a performance headache we'd
like to fix by reducing the size of the allocation to a 2 element
array.  Doing this will break the current guarantee that any driver
using SG_ALL doesn't need to use the scatterlist iterators and can get
away with directly dereferencing the array.  Thus we need to update all
drivers to use the scatterlist iterators and remove direct indexing of
the scatterlist array before reducing the initial scatterlist
allocation size in SCSI.

For all patches in this series except 9/16 and 11/16, please add the following:
