My suspicion is that long SG lists are unusual - otherwise the
ring expansion code would have been needed much earlier.
Can anyone remember whether that was needed because of long SG lists
or because of large numbers of outstanding requests?
I've seen it for network cards - but only because usbnet sends
down far too many tx buffers.
