IIRC, the specific mod15write problem is that we don't want the final 
Data FIS generated by the 3112 to end on a pure 8K or 7.5K boundary 
(Carlos, check me here...)

Thus, a potential solution might be to do full speed read commands, and 
split write commands into two commands:  one write with the majority of 
the transfer, and a second write with the remainder.
