The normal style would be:
/*
* We decrease one since the prvious last sge in used to
* chain the chunks together.
*/
(also fixing up what I think it should be saying while I'm at it)

This helper seems unused in this patch. For bisection you probably
want to move it into the next patch with the user.
In fact I'm not even sure there is much of a point in splitting out
this patch either.
