We are not using the scsi_for_each_sg because currently we setup the scsi data buffers in two separate steps.
The reason of doing that is we allow one buffer being inlined in the IO request, while the remaining buffers 
in sg pages. The sg elements in the IO request and sgpg have different format per ASIC spec, we hence think
It is logically clearer to set them up in two different functions.
