I actually tried just reading the status register and then returning

a 'status error' message while booting:

ide0: start_request: current=0xffff8100035cba68
hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: drive not ready for command

Hi Jens,

Instead of reading the status register and returning ide_stopped
from the handler, which was resulting in the 'status error', I
tried ending the request and returning ide_stopped when the drive
is in a confused state. Using this I dont see the status error.

Following is the patch, kindly review.

This looks a lot more appropriate! Thanks for following through on this.
