I'm still debugging crashes on sparc64 early on boot even with this
latest fix applied.

I think there are still problems in functions like fill_sg().

There is a lot of confusion involving loop termination.  sg_next()
gives you a NULL after the last entry, but tests have been changed
to compare against sg_last() which is likely not what we want for
those checks.

I'll try to figure it out, just a heads up...
