[SCSI] bfa: Introduced generic address len pair to represent DMA memory chunk.
- Avoid the use of hardware defined structure bfi_sge_s for DMA requests in host. - Defined a generic address len pair to represent a DMA memory chunk (bfi_alen_s). Signed-off-by: Krishna Gudipati <kgudipat@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
