Enhance the driver to handle whatever maximum segment number the host tells us to handle. Do to this, we need to allocate the scatterlist dynamically. We set max_phys_segments and max_hw_segments to the same value (1 if the host doesn't tell us, since that's safest and all known hosts do tell us). Note that kmalloc'ing the structure for large sg_elems might be problematic: the fix for this is sg_table, but that requires more work.
