byte boundary.
This value is to be used to program the host controller. As this
represents the actual length of buffer available to the controller and
the controller must be able to deal with short transfers for ATAPI
commands which can transfer variable length, this shouldn't break any
controllers while making problems like rounding-down and controllers
choking up on odd transfer bytes much less likely.
The unmodified value is stored in new field qc->raw_nbytes.
