OK, still don't know what that is ... but Randy decoded this for me; he
said you mean a driver under drivers/usb/storage?
In that case, it looks like the helpers in protocol.c do use chaining
correctly (as long as the driver isn't doing direct dma), but there's a
clamp on the sg table size in scsiglue.c:
.sg_tablesize = SG_ALL
That would have to be changed to SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_SEGMENTS to enable
chaining.
