This patch started life as as527, and was rediffed by me.
Since the IDE interface doesn't convey much information about types of
errors, many USB-IDE adapters report all low-level errors with SK = 0x04,
which is supposed to be used only for non-recoverable errors. As a result
the SCSI midlayer doesn't retry the command. But quite often a retry
would succeed, whereas an unnecessary retry doesn't really hurt anything.
This patch uses a recently-implemented flag to tell the SCSI midlayer that
such hardware errors should be retried.
