No.

This is _not_ equivalent.

#define for_each_sg(sglist, sg, nr, __i)        \
        for (__i = 0, sg = (sglist); __i < (nr); __i++, sg = sg_next(sg))

Putting the arguments into that gives:

        for (count = 0, s = sg; count < (size >> PAGE_SHIFT); count++, s = sg_next(s))

whereas the old code is:

	for (count = 0, s = sg; count < (size >> PAGE_SHIFT); s = sg_next(s))

Spot the difference?  "count++".

This is because "size >> PAGE_SHIFT" is not the number of scatterlist
entries, it's the number of pages to map.

Please be more careful in the future to ensure that, when cleaning up
code, that the code is indeed equivalent.  Subtle errors like this are
sometimes incredibly difficult to spot.
