They are ugly though.  It's convoluted because we do actually know all
the buffers at once, we don't need a piecemeal API.

As a result, you now have arbitrary changes to the indirect heuristic,
because the API is now piecemeal.

How about this as a first step?

virtio_ring: virtqueue_add_sgs, to add multiple sgs.

virtio_scsi and virtio_blk can really use these, to avoid their current
hack of copying the whole sg array.
