>Description:
	The new IDE code spews the following annoying message to the
	console ad nauseum while playing audio CDs (with e.g. xmcd).

	wdc_atapi_intr warning: bcount value is 8 after io

>How-To-Repeat:
	Plop your favorite Mr. T Experience CD into the CD-ROM drive, hit
	play on the xmcd control panel, notice your message buffer fill with
	annoying messages.

>Fix:
	It's easy to squelch the message by turning off DIAGNOSTIC, but
	either the message is inappropriate, or there's some bug that
	causes it to be printed for the right reason.  *shrug*

	But, I don't know in this case, so no fix provided.
