+ * Drivers must set either ->address or (preferred) ->page and ->offset
+ * to indicate where data must be transferred to/from.
+ *
+ * Using ->page is recommended since it handles highmem data as well as
+ * low mem. ->address is restricted to data which has a virtual mapping, and
+ * it will go away in the future. Updating to ->page can be automated very
+ * easily -- something like
+ *
+ * sg->address = some_ptr;
+ *
+ * can be rewritten as
+ *
+ * sg->page = virt_to_page(some_ptr);
+ * sg->offset = (unsigned long) some_ptr & ~PAGE_MASK;
+ *
+ * and that's it. There's no excuse for not highmem enabling YOUR driver. /jens
