SG_END is already defined in a driver. Hence shall we change back
'SG_END' definition as 'SG_EMARK' or any other suggestions ?

Maybe SG_LAST? Going by existence of sg_is_chain and sg_is_last.

And also would probably be good to add something like:

#define SG_PAGE_BITS (SG_CHAIN | SG_LAST)
#define SG_PAGE_MASK (~SG_PAGE_BITS)

?
