Does it still need the sg_mark_end?
It is preserved here for correctness, the release logic doesn't rely on this marker, but it is better to leave it.
I mean, my read of __sg_alloc_table_from_pages() is that it already placed it, the final __alloc_table() does it?
It marks the last allocated sge, but not the last populated sge (with page).
Why are those different?
It looks like the last iteration calls __alloc_table() with an exact number of sges
