* A DMA error is sometimes expected. For example,
* if the tape is crossing a filemark during a
* READ command, it will issue an irq and position
* itself before the filemark, so that only a partial
* data transfer will occur (which causes the DMA
* error). In that case, we will later ask the tape
* how much bytes of the original request were
* actually transferred (we can't receive that
* information from the DMA engine on most chipsets).

* data transfer will occur, but no DMA error.
