Most virtio setups have a fairly limited number of ring entries available. Enable S/G entry merging by default to fit into less of them. This restores the behavior at time of the virtio-blk blk-mq conversion, which was changed by commit "block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging" which made the behavior optional, but didn't update the existing drivers to keep their previous behavior.
