This should have worked, but it seems the IDE controller was not in a stable
state, so it aborted. It look like this case should be easy to deal with,
if we know we are doing a core dump (so that we can just reset the driver state
without worying). Is there a way (global variable or something) to know if
we're doing a core dump ?
