    virtio_ring: virtqueue_add_sgs, to add multiple sgs. · 13816c76

    virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying
    the whole sg array.  Some other things get slightly neater, too.
    
    This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as
    a wrapper.  This is addressed in the next patches.
