Looks like the SCSI-merge code will have to be modified. I'll do
IDE-merge code at the same time, so that we just merge less
aggressively rather than falling back to PIO transfers.

I'll leave the check in pci_map_sg(), but it shouldn't ever trigger
after I patch the IDE and SCSI merge routines, so I'll add a warning
message if an invalid scatter-gather list is detected.
