Even though it was only called for devices that have bs->sg set (which
must be character devices),
sg_get_max_segments looked at /sys/dev/block which only works for
block devices.
I assume, you keep /sys/dev/block code branch here only for following
converting of the function to be hdev_get_max_hw_transfer()? Worth mentioning
here?
On Linux the sg driver has its own way to provide the maximum number of
iovecs in a scatter/gather list.

Should it be instead "if (bs->sg) {" ? As SG_GET_SG_TABLESIZE looks like
sg-specific, not for any chardev.
Also, st is not a pointer, so here and in the next if condition it should be
s/st->/st./
