After the earlier discussion with Boaz Harrosh, I ended up redoing the
blk_rq_map_{kern|user}_*() stuff and am now in the process of testing
it.  The patchset is rather large (20+ patches).  As the prealloc
patch would fit on top of that series, I think it would be better to
sequence things via git merge.  Is there a git tree I can use for
pata-2.6 changes?  Or is the current linus master okay?

Thanks.

P.S.: Boaz, the above patchset implements blk_rq_map_kern_sgl() and
kills the SCSI layer hack.  That was the issue you were trying to
solve, right?
