pre-allocating should at least solve those issues: http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,1097.msg7780.html#msg7780 but now when looking closer SG support can disable the support for shared memory support for bulk transfers. It should be possible to turn off SG Support in favor of pre-allocating the buffers (or preallocate the buffers for SG). This problem happened several times on Sheevaplug ARM systems from Marvell.
