This patch adds a const modifier to the buf argument of sg_set_buf and
sg_init_one. This lets people call it with pointers that are const.

sg_init_one is a nice tool for the block layer. However, users
of struct scatterlist in other subsystems don't usually need the
DMA attributes. For them it's a waste of time and space to
initialise the whole struct scatterlist structure.
Therefore this patch adds a new function sg_set_buf to initialise
a scatterlist without zeroing the DMA attributes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
