Yeah, from a quick look, seems that this patch wrongly handles
sg_count.
This patch sets scsi_sg_count(sc) to sg_count, right? for_each_sg is
expected to be used with a return value of pci_map_sg.
Then this patch can simply do something like:
for_each_sg(sg, sg, sg_count, i) {
pt[i].high = cpu_to_be32(sg_dma_len(sg) << 16);
pt[i].low = cpu_to_be32(sg_dma_address(sg));
}
