Maybe we do need to recover from a stuck DRQ bit, but I'll wait until
that symptom shows up with a different catalyst.
It's a failure mode that occurs very often (as far as failures go)
with the IDE driver. *Lots* of occurance.
So as more things migrate to libata, we'll eventually have to deal
with it here, too. I'm just trying to give us a chance to fix it
before somebody loses data over it.
Actually, I'm not so sure that this problem hasn't *already* been
posted to this very mailing list.
