Most of the quirks were added for NO_6_BYTE.  Many of the USB devices
include NO_SYNC_CACHE also although the documentation for many of these
was lost before we began keeping PRs documenting the issue.  Many of the
devices that include NO_SYNC_CACHE were just cut/pasted from previous
quirks and no attempt was made to verify the separate need for that quirk.
I'll do my best to follow down cvs logs and things but what it comes down
to is that we'll just have to test to see what quirks are really needed.
