If you only use the first element, could you just use dma_map_single()?

I see these a lot in your code. Could you replace this wit

	hdr->cmd_table_addr = cpu_to_le64(req_dma_addr);

and so on? That would be much more readable. Or are the two __le32 variables
swapped? If so, you could add a small helper function like

static inline __le64 cpu_to_le64_wordswapped(u64 val)
{
	return cpu_to_le64(val >> 32 | val << 32);
}
