No wait a second, that wont work. The code is always being built in sg
scsi_lib.c, it should just not be called unless we can do chaining. We
will never have a large number of segments that require chaining without
ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, so it'll never be called in that case. So it has to
remain as it is, a BUG().
