There's no functional change in your patches to qla2xxx and qla4xxx.
Perhaps a cut-n-paste typo from qla1280.c (which should be capped):

I don't forsee any issues with maintaining SG_ALL (~0) usage within
qla2xxx and qla4xxx, as the number of unused entries on the HBA's
request-queue shall ultimately be the rate-limiting factor.
