No nee to add a check to virtio_has_dma_quirk.
But looking at virtio_has_dma_quirk shows that virtio-gpu is
pretty messed up already as well.
It can't really poke into the DMA details. We'll need core virtio
helpers for allocating and syncing a sg_table instead and make
virtio_has_dma_quirk private to the core.
