Please post v3 as a new email thread instead of a reply to this thread.
Replies are overlooked more easily than a new thread.

BSG uses struct sg_io_v4 and that data structure supports I/O vectors.
How about changing SG_ALL into 2, which should be sufficient for 4096
bytes spread over two discontiguous physical pages? I think it's fine
not to support the I/O vectors that can be generated by user space code
like this program:
