So if for some reason the kernel doesn't write to .info, we'll leak two
bytes of kernel memory.

Then probably there is no need to copy those fields, right?
There should be no data leak from the kernel, as sgio is
allocated on the userspace stack, and the appropriate ioctl
handler should set/zero all those fields anyway, as it expects
them to come directly from the user (did not check).
So, at worst the user will get it's own garbage insted of the
values he left in the fields that the kernel was supposed to
set.
If so, please could drop my previous patch and take this one.
