They look like completely new error handling and recovery code. Very
much new development, not fixes.

And this is not some new driver that is getting some fixups from being
merged, the code has been without any of this fundamentally new error
recovery for at least three years.

In other words: no. This is not a "fix". This is fundamental new
development that is larger than all the changes that came in this
merge window.

No way is this appropriate. Get rid of it.
