Wouldn't it be simpler to keep the original code, but then just subtract
the rq_offset?

	buflen += rqst->rq_pagesz * (rqst->rq_npages - 1);
	buflen += rqst->rq_tailsz;
	buflen -= rqst->rq_offset;

It's kind of confusing as written. Also, what if it's just one page, but
has a non-zero offset? Is that somehow not possible? My suggested code
would take that into account, yours doesn't.
