I tried replacing with dma_map_single, but I feel the code is not as 
clean as I need to manually set sg_dma_len() and sg_dma_address():
     req_len = sg_dma_len(sg_req) = sg_req->length;
     sg_dma_address(sg_req) = dma_map_single(dev, sg_virt(sg_req),
  					 req_len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
     if (dma_mapping_error(dev, sg_dma_address(sg_req)))
          return -ENOMEM;
sg_dma_address(sg_req) is used in another function for unmap.
