Does this work? The interrupt status isn't cleared so I would expect the 
second and subsequent reads to fail and so hit the retry limit.

In generally them I'm uneasy about this approach and would prefer if we 
used non-interruptible I/O. I don't mind working on it if you'd like to 
get rid of it.
