I think we can remove this code. This was asked before, and here is
Doug's reply:

It was probaly due to some weirdness in that the scatterlist that sg.c
made used to be sent directly to the LLD (now it is only used to
hold/organize the pages/segments that the sg and st driver manages in
their internal reserves), or maybe it had something to do with that and
dma alignment problems or something. I really have no idea, but the
block layer SG IO code has not been rounding up in its indirect path and
it has been fine.
