+ * queue their new requests and exit immediately.  Note that hwgroup->busy
+ * remains set even when the driver is merely awaiting the next interrupt.
+ * Thus, the meaning is "this hwgroup is busy processing a request".
+ *
+ * When processing of a request completes, the completing thread or IRQ-handler
+ * will start the next request from the queue.  If no more work remains,

+ *	other than reading the status register (to clear it), and logging it.
+ *	There should be no way that an irq can happen before we're ready for it,
+ *	so we needn't worry much about losing an "important" interrupt here.
+ *
+ *	On laptops (and "green" PCs), an unexpected interrupt occurs whenever
+ *	the drive enters "idle", "standby", or "sleep" mode, so if the status
+ *	looks "good", we just ignore the interrupt completely.
+ *
+ *	This routine assumes __cli() is in effect when called.
+ *
+ *	If an unexpected interrupt happens on irq15 while we are handling irq14
+ *	and if the two interfaces are "serialized" (CMD640), then it looks like
+ *	we could screw up by interfering with a new request being set up for 
+ *	irq15.
+ *
+ *	In reality, this is a non-issue.  The new command is not sent unless 
+ *	the drive is ready to accept one, in which case we know the drive is
+ *	not trying to interrupt us.  And ide_set_handler() is always invoked
+ *	before completing the issuance of any new drive command, so we will not
+ *	be accidentally invoked as a result of any valid command completion
+ *	interrupt.
+ *
+ *	Note that we must walk the entire hwgroup here. We know which hwif
+ *	is doing the current command, but we don't know which hwif burped
+ *	mysteriously.
