Hi Ben,

The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with
scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when
scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the
scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table().

This fixes it by using sg_init_table(). The rest of the stuff
it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work.
Presumably this is also needed in 2.6.24.xx
