I don't know the USB subsystem either.  Anyway, in this case the
"SCSI low-level" (i.e. SCSI transport and interconnect driver)
internally consists of USB high-level (storage), USB core, and USB
low-level (UHCI, EHCI or whatever).  "grep -r dma_map_sg drivers/usb/"
shows occurrences of scatter-gather list DMA mappings in the USB core.  I
haven't checked whether these are indeed the ones that the usb-storage
driver relies on.
