ATA-6 no longer allows a device to claim ATA-2 compatibility. The bit
is obsolete.
ATA-3 does not allow IDLE IMMEDIATE. We need to changre the error
recovery depending on which bits are set.
ATA-6 => use srst
ATA-2 => idle immediate
Anything else is probably srst as well.
One of the drives that has trouble claims ATA-2 through ATA-6, which is
interesting, This means this device claims to support ATA-5, hence we
should be able to interpret the bits in the Identify device according to
ATA-5 which means it supports ATA-2 which it clearly does not. Only 1
of the 3 different drives I've looked at gets it right and does not
claim ATA-2 support when it does not support it. I'll drop an email to
a couple of manufacturers and let them know their drives have a problem.
