You keep ignoring inconvenient facts. For about the third time:

I run a test bed for sg_tables (large chaining of requests). This runs
on parisc using virtual merging (has to because the final physical table
size can't go over the sg list of the SCSI card). If I turn off virtual
merging I can no longer test sg_tables in vanilla kernels.
