No, please see the comments in another patch. We need to return a
valid acb to upper layer in order to tell it the request has been
succeeded in starting. But actually the request is enqueued, so normal
acb can not be returned immediately because this request is not
handled by the driver; so we need to malloc an immediate acb struct,
and return it to upper layer.
