Since the busy bit is set, we know the drive must have received a
command. Since dma_intr thought the drive was not busy, an interrupt
must have snuck through between the command being issued and the dma
being started. I think in my original patch, I had the dma start
outside of the spinlock, that is a bug. The command to the controller
to start the dma must be inside of the spinlock.
I have not looked at 2.4.21-pre4 at all, so I could be entirely off base
here.
