I have no idea about the "ugliness", but why not ...

If nobody objects, and in order to submit a proper patch, there are decisions to
make :
 - what will be the scope of this new .c file ?
   - only sg_plit() ?
   - all sg specialized functions, ie. sg_lib.c ?
 - will include/linux/scatterlist.h have an "ifdefed" portion for what X.c
   offers ?
 - what naming for X.c and the config entry ?

What about adding this to lib/Makefile, and one ifdef to scatterlist.h ? :
     obj-$(CONFIG_SG_LIB) += sg_lib.o

Cheers.
