It should at very least be renamed. But I still can't figure out what
it is for exactly.
There are three users:
(1) virtio_blk::virtblk_get_id():
This looks like it really should just use blk_rq_map_kern.
(2) osd_initiator::_make_request():
This one looks like it should just use the same scheme as
sg_io(), as it's doing the same thing.
(3) target_core_pscsi::__pscsi_map_SG():
Same as (2).
