[PATCH] Fix IDE bus reset and DMA disable when reading blank DVD-R
From Jon Burgess: There is a problems with blank DVD media using the ide-cd driver. When we attempt to read the blank disk, the drive responds to the read request by returning a "blank media" error. The kernel doesn't have any special case handling for this sense value and retries the request a couple of times, then gives up and does a bus reset and disables DMA to the device. Which obviously doesn't help the situation. The sense key value of 8 isn't listed in ide-cd.h, but it is listed in scsi.h as a "BLANK_CHECK" error. This trivial patch treats this error condition as a reason to abort the request. This behaviour is the same as what we do with a blank CD-R. It looks like the same fix might be desired for 2.4 as well, although is perhaps not so important since scsi-ide is normally used instead.
