Thanks Again.

If i am getting this clearly, the concern is "why to queue separate transfers for
individual sg's? Better would be to prepare the complete list at once and
start the transfer, so that DMA stops only after finishing all sg's
passed from user." Is this what you are pointing at?
If yes, then the same is done in this patch too. An array for llis is allocated at
the start, then for each sg i prepare lli list from this array. Last lli from one sg
is followed by first lli from next sg. And so i get a continuous chain of llis.
