As Brian said the device he was working with would just not answer, leading to a bus abort. This would get ffffffff on a PC. You could simulate this if you want, although I think a EBUSY or EIO is better.
Alan - are you satisfied with the most recent patch, or would you prefer the patch not returning failure return codes and just bit bucketing writes and returning all ff's on reads? Either way works for me.
