I looked into killing sg_last(), but really, this is the best its gonna
get (moving sg_last to libata-core.c).
You could maybe kill one use with caching, but in the other sg_last()
callsites there isn't another s/g loop we can stick a "last_sg = sg;"
into.
libata is stuck because we undertake the highly unusual operation of
fiddling with the final S/G element, to enforce 32-bit alignment.
Of course we could eliminate all that nasty fiddling/padding
completely, including sg_last(), if other areas of the kernel would
guarantee ahead of time that buffer lengths are always a multiple
of 4........

[the obvious patch follows, moving sg_last()...]
