Not sure if this is a valid conversion.
Originally the driver would allocate a single buffer; with this buffer
we have two distinct buffers.
Given that this is used to download the microcode I'm not sure if this
isn't a hardware-dependent structure which requires a single buffer
including the sglist.
Brian, can you shed some light here?

Cheers,

Hannes
