Debugging a report of a problem with an ancient solid state disk showed
up some problems in the IORDY handling

1.      We check the wrong bit to see if the device has IORDY
2.      Even then some ancient creaking piles of crap don't support
        SETXFER at all.

I think this should go via -mm for a bit. The cases it fixes are obscure
and the risk of side effects is slight but possible. This also moves us
slightly closer to supporting original MFM/RLL disks with libata but
before Jeff panics I have no plans to do that....
