Drive that timed out
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
An IDE DMA transfer timed out. In the event of an error we ask
the driver to resolve the problem, if a DMA transfer is still
in progress we continue to wait (arguably we need to add a 
secondary 'I don't care what the drive thinks' timeout here)
Finally if we have an interrupt but for some reason got the
timeout first we complete the I/O. This can occur if an 
interrupt is lost or due to bugs.
