So drivers can't return EH_RESET_TIMER forever. This really ties the
handling into the behaviour the user has requested.  The only wrinkle
was the no retry streaming commands.  The assumption is that a retry
doesn't actually happen under eh_timed_out, but only an attempt to
collect an existing command which may be delayed because of transport or
other problems the host knows about.
