It would always be nice. For this case I don't think it's very interesting, if we pursue the improved sg iteration setup.
BTW, I think it's pretty clear that ata_sg_is_last() is broken. It's likely a one-off in the n_iter test.

fixing that would be a -stable candidate, as a potential data corruptor - or is it more benign?

It is confirmed working prior to the sg-chaining stuff, so 2.6.23.1 is OK...
