No, I managed to screw up the patch; you can see that I carefully added 
the same treatment for the read argument, being unsure if the BUSY state 
would remain during the AVAILABLE data phase. I can check that again, 
but unfortunately the patch in this email shows the same problem.

I think it may be worthwhile to rethink the behavior of wait_status() 
here. If one machine shows no change after a certain status bit change, 
then perhaps the others share that behavior, and we are waiting in vain. 
Just imagine how many years of cpu that is, combined. ;-)
