Greetings hch, Jens and Co,

This patch adds support for TCM/IBLOCK backstores doing proper non 512-byte native TCM
struct se_task SCSI LBA conversion into 512-byte units in iblock_map_task_SG() for the
starting and subsequent struct bio->bi_sector going into bio_add_page().  The second patch
converts the same function to use for_each_sg() to follow mainline SGL walking conventions.

So far I have been testing these two with TCM_Loop virtual SCSI on top and scsi_debug
below with non 512-byte sector_sized struct scsi_devices, which now appears to be
functioning as expected.  I will need to test this with more combinations of scsi_debug
max_sectors (and will need a patch to make that a module parameter too.. ;) to ensure
N struct se_task mapping in transport_do_se_mem_map() -> transport_map_mem_to_sg() is
functioning as expected for these > 512-byte block_size / sector_size cases.

Please have a look at let me know what you think, and please let me know if there is
anything else that should be considered for this one.

Thanks!
