Yes, but the difficulty there is that all of the convoluted logic
seems to still be wanted to set a correct "block_sectors" value,
needed as a parameter on the final call:

scsi_io_completion(SCpnt, good_bytes, block_sectors << 9);

Erm, but that's only used for volume overflow (or other single sector
errors), which this isn't ... Actually, as far as I can tell, the whole
block_sectors calculation can be killed as well.

I wonder if it can be done away with as a parameter for scsi_io_completion() ?
If not, then we'll need some nice big comments in that function to warn
against relying on a valid value for that parameter in specific cases.
