The virtio transport supports by default a 9p 'msize' of up to
approximately 500 kB. This patches adds support for larger 'msize'
values by resizing the amount of scatter/gather lists if required.

Missing

    kfree(*_vq_sg);

here, and probably also a prior memcpy() as in patch 7, i.e.:

    /* copy over old scatter gather lists */
    sz = sizeof(struct virtqueue_sg) +
        (*_vq_sg)->nsgl * sizeof(struct scatterlist *);
    memcpy(vq_sg, *_vq_sg, sz);

Probably an error/info message for architectures not supporting SG chains 
would be useful here, to let users on those system know why they cannot get 
beyond 500k msize.
