[PATCH 1/7] sg_ring: introduce sg_ring: a ring of scatterlist arrays.

[Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>]

This patch introduces 'struct sg_ring', a layer on top of scatterlist
arrays.  It meshes nicely with routines which expect a simple array of
'struct scatterlist' because it is easy to break down the ring into
its constituent arrays.

The sg_ring header also encodes the maximum number of entries, useful
for routines which populate an sg.  We need never hand around a number
of elements any more.
