Greetings Jens and co,

This patch adds the missing support to block/bsg.c:bsg_map_hdr() to accept
struct sg_io_v4->d[out,in]_iovec_count and process struct sg_io_v4->d[out,in]_xferp memory
containing userspace iovecs for kernel level BSG.  It adds a new wrapper bsg_rq_map_user_iov()
that will call copy_from_user() and blk_rq_map_user_iov() following the original SG_IO logic in
drivers/scsi/sg.c:sg_start_req().

So far this has been tested on a x86_64 v2.6.34 KVM Host with TCM_Loop Virtual SAS Port/LUNs
into a x86_64 v2.6.26 KVM Guest with Megasas 8707EM2 HBA Emulation + my new scsi-bsg backstore code.

Please consider this for v2.6.36 as it will be required in order for QEMU-KVM MegaSAS and VirtIO HBA
emulation using QEMU scatterlist memory and BSG backstores.

This have been rejected several times.

This doesn't work on 32bit user/64bit kernel.

The compat code doesn't work for the read/write interface (does for
the ioctl interface though). So we can't support this feature cleanly.

I guess that would explain why the iovec_count structure members are
part of struct sg_io_v4 and block/bsg.c:bsg_map_hdr() silently accepts
and overwrites them..  :(

Hmmm, being able to use QEMU-KVM HBA emulation with userspace
scatterlist memory for the various HBA emulation with a matched
user/kernel is still useful though, yes..?  Being able to handle TMR
emulation from QEMU-KVM HBA emulation would also be useful I think.

Having QEMU-KVM fall back to SG_IO for the 32bit/64bit kernel would be
accpetable for me if we can still make BSG + iovecs work for the typical
case.

So I am curious to see if there will be a performance improvement
between QEMU-KVM + scsi-bsg w/ AIO IOVECs compared to the legacy SG_IO
ioctl().  Anyways, I will post my QEMU-KVM scsi-bsg patches and run some
benchmarks this week with this patch on 5500 series Nehalem so see aside
from the userspace TMR case how useful having a BSG backstore for
QEMU-KVM may be.

Best,
