scsi_malloc() allocates with granularity of 512 bytes.

What happens when the device sector size is larger than 512?
i.e.
What is the size of a single scatterlist->length before it
is passed to queuecommand()?
I suppose a mutiple of the device sector size, which in turn
should be a mutiple of 512...

What happens when the request size is _not_ a multiple of 512.

Thanks,
