Ah! yes. Now that I look at it, RESPONSE_IS_PCI_TIMEOUT() does indeed
seem like a better option to RESPONSE_IS_PCI_ERROR(), since it's more
specfic and depicts the actual condition. 

I'll wait for sometime and see if others have any objection/a better
name for the macro and then redo the patch with that.

Thank you very much for the review ^^
