This is extra-bad.  Without more feedback from the controller (no 
documentation from AMI yet, sorry. 8() I can only wonder whether you're 
getting a SCSI bus error of some sort that's causing the kernel to time 
these commands out (because the controller is taking too long to respond).

You could try increasing the timeout allowance in amr_periodic(), or just 
disable the poll entirely.  This won't help if the controller is really 
dropping commands, though.

At this point, I have no other ideas, sorry.
