Ok, I committed the patch as-is, since it's what Anders tested, but I'm
not at all convinced that it is necessarily the best or final form. The
things I am aware of but didn't think about all *that* deeply:
- do we get return values etc right (ie if we complete the command that
didn't give any data, how do we account the size of it?)
- what about that remaining old unexpected case? I kept the "wait for it
with timeout" behaviour for the case that wasn't an issue here, but if
it really is a shared interrupt, that seems like it's going to always
reset the timeout to WAIT_WORSTCASE, which doesn't sound really right.
so I think this particular bug is fixed and we should be better off, but
I'm definitely not claiming that the code shouldn't have people thinking
about improving it..
