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.
I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.
