usb-storage must use scsi_add_host_with_dma to use the right device
for DMA mapping and parameters.  The calls to set the DMA options
on the device are needed so that IOMMU merging doesn't change the
imposed requirements.  If these requirements slow you down you need
to relax them, as apparently the hardware is able to handle bigger
limits.
