I wanted the park command to get in at the head of the queue (behind the 
currently executing request).

Contrary to the comments for ide_do_drive_cmd(), ide_next didn't appear 
to do anything to achieve this? At least from my initial testing before 
I made this change - it could take a second or so for the park command 
to be issued if the disk was busy....

Regards,
Jon.
