[PATCH 7/10] i386 sg: add support for chaining scatterlists

[Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>]

The core of the patch - allow the last sg element in a scatterlist
table to point to the start of a new table. This adds a pointer
to the sglist structure, and defines sg_chain_ptr() which the
generic code can use to look it up.
