I just want to say I don't think we need a variable length array to
store the buffer here.
And the below is the reason that such a case could be avoided in the
first place.

Unfortunately, there are more devices that didn't have a IOMMU attached
to it, supporting scatter gather is more odd.
It would be more likely that IOMMU would be disabled for the performance
reason.
