While your patch is perfectly fine I think we can do better.
I think that we may try converting sg.c to use jiffies_to_msecs()
and msecs_to_jiffies() from <linux/time.h>.

I don't understand what for is this special case.

jiffies are unsigned long, isn't this buggy on 64-bit archs?

ditto

also rounding up is missing (jiffies_to_msecs()/msecs_to_jiffies() does it)
