The following patches are a second (actually third if you count when I
tried to fixup all their duplicated code but broke a lot of features the
first time) try at converting sg and st to not use scsi_requests and
always use scatterlists.
It is not the grand cleanups I had hoped to do. It does allow us to
finish converting scsi-ml and LLDs without breaking anything though. It
is also a nice bit of cleanup for sg. I do hope to still move the the
ULDs to use the block layer blk_rq_map_user* functions for DIO and
copy_to/from_user cases so we can kill a lot of their code. And we
should be able to consolidate their buffer allocation code soon.
If these patches are ok, we just have to convert gdth, osst and cpqfc.
