I've converted this Assert into a regular test of an empty list, and
up'till I have not run into trouble....

I needed to remove/convert it, because running Linux with ahci on a AMD
cpu ran into ATA FLUSH problems..
So I'm currently ignoring Linux ATA FLUSH.

But perhaps others can share some light on why this as to be an Assert
in this corner of the code instead of just a regular test.

I also do get FPDMA timeouts under Linux with AHCI, but they do not
panic, again because of the "fix".
