I earlier meant just use a local variable for 'nr_mapped' rather than replace
it with '0'. I don't think that 0 segments would result in usable kvec.

I'm not even sure the existing code is correct, though. The sg->length can be
higher order than a PAGE_SIZE, so it may be over-reporting nr_segs. It's just
supposed to be the number of initialized iov's.

Anway, the rest looks good.
