Nope, it's broken. But if you check my write same patches you'll see
that I actually return the correct completion size there.
There are several additional commands in the pipeline where the 1:1
mapping between DMA size and block range is invalid. I want to get rid
of the 1:1 assumption in general so we can handle any command without
these evil workarounds.
