So to make sure I got you right. The problem seems
to me that for the scatter/gather as storage does the
chunks need to be a multiple of the transfer size.

If we want to do this for networking we'd need to align
the skbs to that size and build a virtual large package
from a chain of skbs. Is that what you had in mind?
