Here you do a mempool allocation to guarantee forward progress..

... and here it's a plain malloc in the same path, which renders the
above useless.  Also I would just embedd the sge into the containing
structure to avoid a memory allocation.

Canyou add a constant for the version code?

no need to byte swap 0 - you can always assign it directly.
