I actually just want to see what the bits are here. In other words, we already have a good solution for Mark's problem. I don't think the suggested solution on top of that for Jens is any good, and I'd like to see what bits are set for Jens here. So I _expect_ (or rather, hope) it to fail for his setup. Jens doesn't seem to have the ATA_BUSY bit set, because if he did, then the ata_busy_wait() thing should basically have done the wait for him. That's why I did the wait-idle() + ata_ok() check. It should all work beautifully on machines that didn't have trouble before - but it should hopefully print out something interesting for machines that are potential trouble-spots.
