Okay this sounds much better :-)

few points though:
- you added API for caps, but is actually calculating for given configuration
  the max allowed range. IMHO that is not caps, perhaps renaming to get_max_sg
  /some_better_name would be more apt.
- Still I like the idea of caps, but it should give H/W support capablity. If
  you want to add that, pls develop on same line...
