Sigh... So any command error will result in a timeout. I wonder
what hardware genius decided that CF doesn't need an IRQ...
Ah, I forgot thet libata should be supporting polling mode, so should
handle ERR=1 case. In this case the comment about the timeout
contradicts your words about an interrupt being generated on DMA error.
So, Octeon DMA can actually generate an error interrupt?
