Even though it was only called for devices that have bs->sg set (which
must be character devices),
sg_get_max_segments looked at /sys/dev/block which only works for

On Linux the sg driver has its own way to provide the maximum number of
iovecs in a scatter/gather list.

So, this is a new most-probable path for char-dev, yes?
Is it better do it at start of the function to avoid extra fstat() ?
