The DMA timeout itself could be all sorts of things - crap driver, crap hardware, PCI bus contention, noise, problem disk, phase of the moon. > I can prepare a patch, but only with a lot of guidance.

That handles the error paths differently and doesn't try a FIFO drain which might matter in this case I guess.
