The requirement to enable sg chaining is that pages must be aligned at a 32-bit boundary in order to overload the LSB of the pointer. Regardless of whether ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN is defined or not, the above requirement is always checked by a BUG_ON() in sg_assign_page. So all architectures can enable sg chaining. As you can see from the changes in drivers/target/target_core_rd.c, enabling SG chaining for all architectures allows us to allocate discontiguous scatterlist tables which can be traversed throughout by sg_next() without special handling for some architectures.
