Apparently, 'xcount' being 0 does not mean 0 bytes for TRM290; it means 4 bytes, judging from the code immediately preceding this check. So, we must never try to "split" the PRD for TRM290. This is probably never hit anyway -- with the DMA buffers aligned to at least 512 bytes and ATAPI DMA not being used for non block I/O commands...
