This one seems a bit different. This time it's not related to NCQ vs.
non-NCQ (this is a non-NCQ write here), it's in ADMA mode (so it's
presumably not related to switching between ADMA and register mode,
unless perhaps a flush cache or something executed just before), and
from the CPB data it appears the command completed but the controller's
registers aren't indicating that it has. Not sure if I've seen one like
that before..

How easily can you reproduce this?
