mainlining shenanigans
57b69a1f66
Currently, the window size is limited to the maximum number of sg entries in one table. This is because the code addresses individual blocks within the window by their numeric index. In reality, though, the blocks most often are iterated through sequentially. By rewriting the logic to use sg pointers instead of block indices we loose the necessity to dereference them directly and gain the ability to use multiple chained tables if necessary. Get rid of the limitation by replacing index-based block accesses with sequential block accesses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
