Crashing the kernel if scsi_dma_map() fails seems inappropriate?

We typically omit the unneeded brakes in this situation.  But there are
a huge number of places in this driver which ignored that convention.

Why was this cast added?  It looks either unneeded or wrong.

OK, so this fixes a bug which was added in an earlier patch.

Please just fix the original patch so that we don't introduce bisection
holes.

Please use __packed throughout the driver.  (might be a problem if this
header is supposed to be shared with userspace?)
