+So here we go, dxfer_direction is SG_DXFER_TO_DEV, dxfer_len is 0 and dxferp
+is NULL. We bail out because dxferp is NULL here.
+
+I only looked at sg_write() and not sg_new_write() which is called by the
+SG_IO path not the fops->write() path.
+
+It's probably best to just check for dxfer_len <= 2^28 to be valid as Doug
