Yeah, right. Device error is a special case. In many cases, devices
can operate without any problem after asserting error and for some
commands error is used to signal certain conditions. I think the least
intrusive way would be a qc flag - ATA_QCFLAG_ALLOW_DEVERR, maybe.
Also, I'm not sure whether EH should kick in when passthru commands fail
with a device error. Maybe libata should just report the error to the
issuer and continue operation?
