Good idea. However, ATA may finish its resetting before 31 seconds
expire and waiting that much can be frustrating for user (e.g. during
bootup). A modification of this approach would be to check status
register each 5 or 3 seconds or even each 1 second - this way not much
cpu time is wasted and response time is adequate.
