libata todo item: retry certain classes of errors

From: Jeff Garzik <hidden>

libata error handling is still of the "stupid simple" variety.  While 
that makes it easy to verify, it also means that we don't always recover 
  from some situations.

Right now, libata simply returns an error back to the SCSI layer.

For DMA, PCI and SATA bus errors, we need to reset the hardware and 
retry the command.

It's a fairly important project, for anyone ambitious.  Error handling 
must be improved before I implement queueing (and possibly hotplug).
