Well, without knowing the details of what you want to do it's hard to
say.  Doug offered you a method via SG_IO (albeit involving buffer
copying); you can just increase the SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS, or you could
increase the PAGE_SIZE or use an IOMMU.  For a given workload, you'll
just have to see which works out best in practice.
