Any chance we could get this into 2.6.14? I just tested it on current
git and as expected the number of sg elements increased. Testing a dd
from a virtual disk with clustering disabled (to avoid physical merging
effects) shows:

before:
size    sg count 
1       12295
2       54
3       28
4       45
5       32
6       19
7       17
8       69
9       13
10      18043

after:
size    sg count 
1       410
2       39
3       24
4       39
5       32
6       12
7       8
8       61
9       7
10      4
11      4
12      3
13      3
16      3
17      10
18      7
19      2
20      9
21      2
25      3
26      3
27      1
29      1
30      3
31      4
32      25844
39      1
43      1
62      1
64      1182

The peak at 32 entries is due to a 256kB limitation on the vscsi server.
