Subject: [PATCH] sata_mv: correct S/G table limits


The recent mv_fill_sg() rewrite, to fix a data corruption problem
related to IOMMU virtual merging, forgot to account for the
potentially-increased size of the scatter/gather table after its run.

Additionally, the DMA boundary is reduced from 0xffffffff to 0xffff
to more closely match the needs of mv_fill_sg().
