Hi David,
          I am involved in writing a SCSI HBA Driver
myself for  properietary card, i noticed that in
tran_init_pkt , you first stash away the DMA cookies
for the 'buf' structure in an intermediate structure
called the ccb_sgl[] ,and then in tran_start you load
the hw sgl with this ccb_sgl (referring to function
mfi_load_sgl()) ..Is there a reason the hw sgl was not
directly loaded in tran_init_pkt in the same loop as
the ccb_sgl[] is loaded ? i saw the svn commit for the
same and am not sure i fully understood, could you pls
explain?

Thanks
