If an ejection operation failed before calling _EJ0, the OS needs to
call _OST. Once the OS called _EJ0, the OS need not to call _OST again
since FW has been informed with _EJ0 already. If _EJ0 failed, FW knows
it failed as well. Please see page 14, Figure 2, of DIG64 HPPF doc.
The pointer to the doc is described in patch [0/6].
