I don't think you can use chained scatterlists unless the architecture
supports it. It's not a case that you have to flatten the chaining
before passing it over to the arch - it seems you're not allowed to
create a chained scatterlist in the first place:
static inline void sg_chain(struct scatterlist *prv, unsigned int prv_nents,
struct scatterlist *sgl)
{
#ifndef ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN
BUG();
#endif
