I've tried to understand the branch but I failed. Weather the subchannel
is busy or not should be already decided, and if the device is busy
that is probably supposed to be indicated via device status (word 2 bit 3).

So I wrote dubious because I could not figure it out. But unused
is certainly nicer.

I think shall the need emerge the preferred way of handling would
be to use the custom handling (-EIO) branch.
