Please document these new inline functions!

The core reason IMHO why so many drivers do this wrong is that the struct sg_table
documentation is very poor. In particular w.r.t. how the nents and orig_nents
fields should be used.

It confused me, and clearly I am not alone in that.

So while this is a very nice improvement, it doesn't address the core issue, i.e.
the documentation.

Especially some examples on how to use these new functions would be welcome.

Regards,

Hans
