Originally all drivers had a SG vs non-SG path through the queuecommand function. However, we're eliminating the non-SG path currently. However, if you only ever have one SG segment, that's functionally equivalent to the non-SG path (however, the setup would be different) so I think it's correct for SG_NONE to become 1 when this happens.
