I recently noticed that Niklas Cassel sent a patch to fix unsupported
command handling:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-04/msg05552.html

I suspect that his approach is the more technically correct one and
that calling ide_cmd_done here is a heavy cudgel that may have
unintended consequences. Am I mistaken?
Can you check that Niklas's patch solves your issue? I think you're
both solving the same problem. I've CC'd him on this patch as well.
