And since you mention it, it might also explain why every time this
routine got invoked it failed to fixup anything and got escalated to bus
reset.
(And yes, I _did_ have some customer issues with aic79xx EH escalations
over the years).

Testing will be tricky, though, as you'd have to inject timeouts onto
the parallel bus or device.
