Yeah this is stuff for Hiroshi to look at and queue for
2.6.28. No way we can merge these now.

And this we need to test carefully it's not something we
can just merge.

Has this been tested to work with omap MMC drivers?

I'm not at all convinced the drivers can deal with
chained SG lists.. This may not show up with light
testing, the SG lists can be very small in most cases.

So this would have to be tested to make sure the
the chained SG list handled properly. The same goes
for other omap drivers that may be using SG.
