The S/G Command Register controls operation of the descriptor table aspect of scatter/gather transfers. This
register can be used to start and stop a scatter/gather transfer. The register can also be used to select between
IRQ13 and EOP to be asserted following a terminal count. The current scatter/gather transfer status can be read
in the scatter/gather channel's corresponding S/G Status Register. After a PCIRST# or Master Clear, IRQ13 is
disabled and EOP is enabled.
