Define "small" ;)

There a certainly patterns that cannot/will-not take advantage of SG
(for instance, your typical network rx path), and therefore the sg
entries are wasted in some cases.  Since they need to be (IMHO) u64,
they suck down at least 8 bytes a piece.  Because of this I elected to
use the model of one pointer per descriptor, with an external descriptor
for SG.  What are your thoughts on this?

Measurement will tell. I have a feeling that it won't really matter, so maybe an external sglist is best.
