value
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Write a drive setting if it is possible. The caller
must hold the ide_setting_sem when making this call.
.SH "BUGS"
.PP
the data return and error are the same return value
so an error -EINVAL and true return of the same value cannot
be told apart
.SH "FIXME"
.PP
This should be changed to enqueue a special request
to the driver to change settings, and then wait on a sema for completion.
The current scheme of polling is kludgy, though safe enough.
