Once the patches are accepted by the SCSI people, one of the things we can
consider doing is enabling this quirk for all USB devices.  It should be
pretty harmless to all properly working devices, and the performance hit
should be pretty minimal.

We may be able to convince the SCSI people to enable it for all devices,
regardless of HCD.
