That is the generic BUG in the legacy data path in ide-disk.c.
It is the reason I have been working to migrate to taskfile io but until
there are updates forward from AC to Marcelo, I do not see it being fixed.
It is hard to hit but messy when you get there.
Also it may have something to do w/ changes to the chipset driver made by
Promise and not me.
