drive to flush
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBtry_to_flush_leftover_data\fR is invoked in response to a drive
unexpectedly having its DRQ_STAT bit set.  As an alternative to
resetting the drive, this routine tries to clear the condition
by read a sector's worth of data from the drive.  Of course,
this may not help if the drive is *waiting* for data from *us*.
