I'm currently looking at the mapping API.  It's actually the final
obstacle.  It seems scsi_req_map_sg() should really be in blk-map and
doing that would solve most issues we've been talking about, right?
Anyways, I'll take deeper look and see whether I can clean this up.

I have ~40 more patches on top of those two.  They're mostly ready.
I'll post them soonish (I want to say later today but I said later
today yesterday too :-)

Thanks.
