this is the same value as the common asm-generic one, so this define
should be punted, especially since this would probably introduce
redefined warnings.

once that is done, this header is simply a redirect, so it'd be better
if it was just one line:
#include <asm-generic/scatterlist.h>

one of the reasons i hadnt converted sooner was that it seems like the
common header introduces bloat.  the Blackfin header has just "length"
while the asm-generic has both "length" and "dma_length".  unless i
missed something, this hasnt been a problem for us.  perhaps the
common header should have something like:
#if __BITS_PER_LONG == 64
    unsigned int    dma_length;
#endif
this would match the existing sg_dma_len code.  or perhaps declare the
two lengths as an anonymous union.
