Ming Lei 10e232c597 USB: check sg buffer size in usb_submit_urb
USB spec stats that short packet can only appear at the end
of transfer. Because lost of HC(EHCI/UHCI/OHCI/...) can't
build a full packet from discontinuous buffers, we introduce
the limit in usb_submit_urb() to avoid such kind of bad sg buffers
coming from driver.

The limit might be a bit strict:
	- platform has iommu to do sg list mapping
	- some host controllers may support to build full packet from
	discontinuous buffers.

But considered that most of HCs don't support that, and driver
need work well or keep consistent on different HCs and ARCHs, we
have to introduce the limit.

Currently, only usbtest is reported to pass such sg buffers to HC,
and other users(mass storage, usbfs) don't have the problem.

We don't check it on USB wireless device, because:
	- wireless devices can't be attached to common USB
	  bus(EHCI/UHCI/OHCI/...)
	- the max packet size of endpoint may be odd, and often can't
	devide 4KB which is a typical usage in usb mass storage application

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
