Erm, but sd doesn't expect a non zero residue (and producing one is
illegal) because it sets underflow to the exact size for all read and
write commands.

Usually HBAs ignore underflow, because it simply works correctly for all
SCSI devices I've ever come across.  However, if you're going to be
getting these problems, you really should be checking the underflow.

The meaning of this field is supposed to be "return an error if you
transfer fewer than underflow bytes".  The error's not specified, but
something like DID_ERROR with SUGGEST_RETRY should be fine.
