This patch increases the sg_tablesize for sym53c8xx from 96 to 128, which enables commands to transfer larger amounts of data (e.g. 512 KB instead of 384 KB, assuming 4 KB non-adjacent pages). In the current design of sym53c8xx, SYM_CONF_MAX_SG must be set low enough so that (sym_fw1.a_size <= PAGE_SIZE) && (sym_fw2.a_size <= PAGE_SIZE). With SYM_CONF_MAX_SG == 128, sym_fw1.a_size == 3940 and sym_fw2.a_size == 3576 (plus or minus a few bytes depending on other configuration options). The a_size values increase by 16 for every additional sg vector, so SYM_CONF_MAX_SG cannot be set much higher than 128 without making more intrusive changes. Tested on a LSI 53c1010-66.
