Please forgive me I have forgot to put the use of this constants at
body, see patch below.
I have seen the use of a device memory at the scsi_for_each_sg loop and was
not at all sure what is the size limit for that. So I played it safe,
actually I changed nothing. Please give me the OK to remove ql[24]xxx from
these patches, and have them change to SG_ALL==~0 in the last patch.
Or should I resend the patch with below added.
Thanks for catching this
Boaz
