I'll add new APIs to copy data between a sg list and a buffer soon
after cleaning up (and fixing) some drivers on this area. I plan to
remove fill_from_dev_buffer and fetch_to_dev_buffer in ps3rom. As you
know, they are same functions that scsi_debug uses. There are other
drivers that need similar functions. I expect my ps3rom patch to be
applied to the scsi-fixes tree so I didn't change much as you did in
this patch.
