Heh, I was compiling (almost) the same patch as we speak. :)
I've never seen QEMU crash; the VM would more likely just fail to boot with a panic. But it's the same bug anyway.

This can simply be
sg[idx++] = *sg_elem;
Can you repost it with this change, and also add stable@vger.kernel.org to the Cc? Thanks very much!
