It might be worth emitting a diagnostic when this happens.
I tend to disagree, but if any screaming users show up, we can certainly
think about adding some.
Such would be a diagnostic that would trigger on valid SCSI commands,
when the user is doing nothing wrong and the system can indeed complete
the command just fine. Additionally, this is moving us in the direction
of what the IDE driver has apparently been doing.
