Currently, the GRUB payload for coreboot does not detect the Western
Digital hard disk WDC WD20EARS-60M AB51 connected to the ASRock E350M1,
as that takes over ten seconds to spin up.

disk/ahci.c:621: cleaning up failed devs
```
GRUB detects the drive, when either unloading the module *ahci*, and
then loading it again, or when doing a warm reset.
As the ten second time-out is too short, increase it to 32 seconds,
used by SeaBIOS. which detects the drive successfully.
The AHCI driver in libpayload uses 30 seconds, and that time-out was
added in commit 354066e1 (libpayload: ahci: Increase timeout for
signature reading) with the description below.
> We can't read the drives signature before it's ready, i.e. spun up.
> So set the timeout to the standard 30s. Also put a notice on the
> console, so the user knows why the signature reading failed.

Check the error bits in the interrupt status register. According to the
AHCI 1.2 spec, "Interrupt sources that are disabled (‘0’) are still
reflected in the status registers.", so this should work even though
grub uses polling
This fixes the following problem on a Fujitsu E744 laptop:
Sometimes there is a very long delay (up to several minutes) when
booting from hard disk. It seems accessing the DVD drive (which has no
disk inserted) sometimes fails with some errors, which leads to each
access being stalled until the 20s timeout triggers. This seems to
happen when grub is trying to read filesystem/partition data.
The problem is that the command_issue bit that is checked in the loop is
only reset if the "HBA receives a FIS which clears the BSY, DRQ, and ERR
bits for the command", but the ERR bit is never cleared. Therefore
command_issue is never reset and grub waits for the timeout.
The relevant bit in our case is the Task File Error Status (TFES), which
is equivalent to the ERR bit 0 in tfd. But this patch also checks
the other error bits except for the "Interface non-fatal error status"
bit.

Currently, some messages cannot be mapped to the port they belong to as
the port number is missing from the output. So add `port: n` to the
debug messages.
Run the command below
$ git grep -l schedulded | xargs sed -i 's/schedulded/scheduled/g'
