Hi Mark,

Here is my updated version of your initial code for the megasas
8708EM2 / SGL passthrough friendly qemu-kvm.git/scsi-bsg:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/nab/qemu-kvm.git;a=commitdiff;h=075901d9bc1fea670bef84f55806f1bc8b2a5e9e

Please feel free to improve your patch using this code and respin
another patch for tomo-san to review.

Thanks!
