        (sg->offset + sg->length) ----------+

The picture seems right. Looking at the code i'm not sure if i understand
it correctly.

pgoff = sg->offset & ~PAGE_MASK;

this gets the offset past the start of page.

sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)iov_pfn << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + pgoff;

this would set dma_address at b+off instead of starting at c+off correct?
