[PATCH] sym53c416 driver breakage

[Paulo Andre']

Hi,

The following patch fixes a small bug which prevented the Sym53c416 
driver from compiling. I don't know to which degree this is the right 
fix, since the 'address' field from struct scatterlist just seemed to 
magically disappear. If this was intended, meaning my fix isn't 
correct, I'd like to know about it.

This is very wrong, we removed ->address for a reason (unify handling of
lo+hi memory suppot). So it may fix you compile, but that's all it will
fix. IOW, it won't work.

Thanks, Jens. I was wondering about it, not anymore. I'll just let the 
gurus work it out :)
