One use for this is as follows:

Without the QUIRK
imagine there is one SG descriptor passed in and it is properly aligned etc.  
The prepare_data function (and friends) will 
change this to 2 ADMA descriptors.  The first descriptor will point to the data 
/ length passed in via the SG descriptor.  The
second descriptor will say END OF CHAIN.

With the Quirk
Only one ADMA descriptor will be used.  It will contain the pointer to the 
data/length and be marked END OF CHAIN.

The quirk save a needless fetch.
