WHILE pageCount>0 DO
The idea here is as follows. If reportSoftErrors=FALSE then we just make a normal call and let the disk channel (and head) do all the error recovery. But if reportSoftErrors=TRUE, we initially request the disk channel (and head) to perform only one try so that we get to find out the exact address of any error. When an error occurs, we then retry just that one page with full error recovery enabled in order to discover whether the error is correctable.
