The current sg list and single mapping functions are useless on 64-bit
(and highmem) anyway. I've used struct sg_list as a scatterlist
replacement for some time that holds a page/offset/length thing instead,
and also used pci_map_page for single mappings.

Using a virtual address for this stuff seems a bit short-sighted to
me...
