I wonder if we should change the code to set DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL for
bidi commands.  That seems a lot more logical than the current
version.

Also I don't think all the debug checks for bidi commands that you
change should stay at all - driver need to set the QUEUE_FLAG_BIDI to
ever see a bidi command.

It would also nice to add a host template flag for bidi support instead
of having to poke into the block layer request_queue while we're at it.
